Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1982
1 dozen bottles per lot
NINETEEN EIGHTY TWO CHATEAU LAFITE-ROTHSCHILD Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1982 Pauillac, 1er cru classé Both lots in original wooden cases Lot 205 levels: four into neck, seven base of neck, one very top-shoulder; Lot 206 levels: base of neck or better, glue stained labels Parcel: lots 205-206 "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! Anticipated maturity: 2007-2070."
