Details
Château Lafite-Rothschild 1982
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
One corroded Capsule, slightly bin-soiled labels, one slightly damaged label
Levels eight base of neck and four top shoulder
In original wooden case
Tasting Note: "Roughly two dozen well spread and consistently good notes from the mid-1980s. By its 10th birthday, though still deep and intense, the inimitable bouquet was developing beautifully, spicy and powerful. In the second half of the 1990s decade, its fragrance, harmony and length a major feature. By 2001, mouthfilling, so much on show, so much more to come. Most recently, double decanted and served 5 hours later: still deep and velvety, with a virtually opaque core; the bouquet already aroused and holding its fragrance; medium-sweet, delicious flavour and persistence. Tamed tannins." Last noted Dec 2004 ****(*) MB
