CHÂTEAU LAFITE ROTHSCHILD 1982 (1) WS 94 WA 97
Lot 147 Details
CHÂTEAU LAFITE ROTHSCHILD 1982
Pauillac. 1er Cru Classé
u. hs. scraped & stained label. scraped capsule.
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, but it needs another 5-8 years to reach full maturity. It is capable of lasting 50-60 years. WS 94 WA 97
1 bt. per lot $2,500 - $2,700
