Château Lafite-Rothschild 1982

Estimate
US$10,000 - US$14,000
Price realised:
n. a.
Beschreibung:

Château Lafite-Rothschild 1982 Pauillac, 1er cru classé Worn, wrinkled, and hand-applied capsule, slightly bin-soiled and damaged label Level very top shoulder Tasting Note: This is a denser version of the 1990 that stylistically reminds me of what the young 1959 probably tasted like. Still backward with a deep ruby/plum color revealing only a touch of lightening at the edge, the wine offers up an extraordinary nose of caramelized herbs, smoke, cedar, pen ink, black currants, and earth. The gorgeous aromatics are followed by a full-bodied, plump, rich, fleshy wine with low acidity. With 6-8 hours decanting in a closed decanter, it will offer beautiful drinking. It is capable of lasting 50-60 years. 97+ RP 1 double magnum per lot
