Château Lafite Rothschild--Vintage 1982
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Levels: one bottom neck, two top shoulder, two upper shoulder. Three slightly damaged labels, two wine stained, one tissue stained labels.
"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
