Description

Still extraordinarily backward and youthful,this large-scaled (massive by Lafite's standards)wine should prove to be the greatest Lafite made after the 1953 and 1959. It continues to offer an exceptionally intense,compelling bouquet of herbs,black currants,vanilla,lead pencil and cedar.The wine reveals considerable tannin as well as amazing,atypical power and concentration for Lafite.The hallmark elegance of this wine has not been compromised because of the vintage's tendency to turn out powerful and unctuously textured,thick,juicy wines.Rich,full,and still youthful and unyielding,this should prove to be a fabulous Lafite Rothschild--but only for those readers prepared to wait until 2003-2005.It should easily last through the first 3 decades of the next century.A potential 100-point wine! Last tasted,September 1995. (100 Points).

Robert Parker. (Bordeaux. A Comprehensive Guide. Third Edition).

I have also located another Robert Parker tasting note:-

The 1982 Lafite Rothschild 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 nearly a minute.An amazing achievement!
