Description

Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1982
Pauillac
8bn, 3ts, 1vhs, 1lbsl, 1loxc, 1lcc
Bottle (12)
"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, but it needs another 5-8 years to reach full maturity. It is capable of lasting 50-60 years." (97+pts Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #183, June 2009)

"Dark ruby red. Mineral, berry and mint. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a long finish. A silky, seductive wine." (94 pts. James Suckling, Wine Spectator, June 2001)
