Description

'Finally, the 1983 Lafite is beginning to shed its tannin. The wine exhibits a deep ruby/garnet color with only a slight lightening at the edge. The intoxicatingly perfumed nose of lead pencil, pain grille, red and black fruits, minerals, and roasted herbs is provocative. In the mouth, this wine displays considerable body for a Lafite, plenty of power, and a fleshy, rich, sweet mid-palate. Long, elegant, plump, and surprisingly fleshy, this outstanding example of Lafite seems largely forgotten given the number of high quality vintages during the golden decade of the eighties. Anticipated maturity: Now-2030. Last tasted 3/97. 93pts'
Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition # B1
Jan 1998

'First tasted in December 2005. Deep garnet core with deep brick rim. A very fine nose of baked black cherries, soot and black truffle. Good definition and vigor, still a nose with a lot to give. The palate does not quite match up to the nose. Sweet black, kirsch and prune tinged fruit. Very silky but lacking some grip and acidity. A very sleek Lafite that is at its peak now, but the finish is a little one-dimensional. Then from a magnum in May 2006. A very tight nose at first, blackberry, tobacco, touches of charcoal. Very classic, Pauillac palate with the tannins mellow and refined. Very harmonious, sweet with a touch of dried prune, but then a little dryness at the finish and perhaps short in length. But it still has great charm. 89-91pts'
