Château Lafite-Rothschild 1983
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Offered in an original wooden case. In original tissues. Slightly corroded capsules. Levels: four into neck, seven base of neck and one very top-shoulder
Tasting note: My best and most detailed note in the mid-1990s: richly coloured but already a mature red-brown rim; bouquet light and fragrant but a whiff of varnish; a curious but familiar oyster shell taste. Later, a touch of sweetness but with edgy acidity. Most recently: fairly deep; fair fragrance; surprisingly sweet, not bad fruit. Faint praise. Perhaps unfair. Last tasted May 2005 ***. MB
