Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1982
14 bottles per lot
Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1982 Pauillac, 1er cru classé Lots 9 and 10 are offered in original wooden cases. Lot 11 is offered in a carton. Four bottles reconditionned at the Château in 1994. Two slightly bin-soiled and one stained label. Levels: four into neck and the rest top-shoulder or better 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! Anticipated maturity: 2007-2070. Robert Parker Wine Advocate #129 (Jun 2000) 14 bottles per lot
