1982 LAFITE
Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1982
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Levels: three bottom neck, two very top shoulder, four top shoulder; one lightly corroded capsule, three slight signs of old seepage
"Eventually a triumph. On decanting and for two and a half hours later, the wine was big and smoky, with ripe fruit, a rather burnt nose, and firm, grippy tannins. With time a softer, riper plum and fig fruit character arose and the smoky, burnt aromas took a backseat, along with cedary lead pencil notes. On the palate in time the tannins softened as well, providing a lush, rich, velvety drink just in time for the steak." Dinner at Christie's, CC, December 2009
