Château Lafite 1983

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

u. 1bn, 2vts, labels soiled and damaged, 1 vintage illegible,🎉 capsule cut to reveal vintage clearly visible on cork, 1 capsule corroded and slightly damaged on top

60% Cabernet Sauvignon in this vintage. In 2018, I think this has got better over the last decade, showing a purer Lafite nose with its signature breed and cedary notes. The texture has Lafite finesse and the flavour has filled out, filling the mouth with that cèpes and smoke allur🗹e. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
