Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1982
12 bottles per lot
Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1982 Pauillac, 1er cru classé Excellent appearance. Levels: four into neck, six base of neck, one top and one just below top-shoulder Tasting note: The 1982 Lafite possesses a dark, dense ruby/purple color with only a subtle lightening at the rim. Spectacular aromatics offer jammy cherry and black fruits intertwined with lead pencil, mineral, and smoky wood scents. Powerful for a Lafite, this wine unfolds to reveal extraordinary richness, purity, and overall symmetry in addition to stunning flavor depth and persistence. The finish lasts for nearly a minute. Plenty of tannin remains, and the wine displays a vibrancy and youthfulness that belie its 18 years of age. The modern day equivalent of Lafite-Rothschild's immortal 1959, the 1982 will enjoy another 30-70 years of life! An amazing achievement! 100 points. Robert Parker Wine Advocate # 129 (Jun 2000) 12 bottles per lot
