The red wine Château Lafite-Rothschild, vintage 1982 from the winery Château Lafite-Rothschild has been rated in 2009 with 96 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape varieties Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon from the region Pauillac in France.
Intense ruby with a good depth of colour, orange reflections, and a broad watery rim. A fine floral bouquet on the nose, with cherry, subtle orange zest, liquorice and blackberry, floral lily notes, a hint of cedar wood, porcini mushroom and chocolate. The palate is complex, juicy, and elegant, pronounced in fruit, with vivid tannins, some black tea, slightly astringent, with the robust core of all good 82’s, deep with dark chocolate, but also red fruit nuances on the lengthy finish. Has excellent potential for further ageing! Drink/store +40 years.
