Overview

The 1983 Lafite-Rothschild is one of my favorite vintages of the decade, and this bottle, served blind, replicates its showing at their 150th anniversary vertical. However, at first, it feels a little disjointed on the nose, but it coheres in the glass, offering lovely blackberry fruit, hints of pain d'épices, black truffle and meat juices. The palate is beautifully balanced with fine-boned tannins, tobacco and morels. There's a bit more white pepper on the finish of this bottle, though persistent as ever. What a wonderful Lafite-Rothschild that, at 40 years, continues to go strong. Tasted blind at dinner at a nearby Pauillac château.

Tasted single blind at the Fine Wine Experience horizontal in London. This has a deep garnet colour, youthful in appearance whilst the nose has a touch of “New World” Cabernet about it. A few more swirls and some lovely brambly fruit, blackberry, a little liquorices and wine gums. Quite generous. The palate is medium-bodied, quite sinewy and backward, ripe and generous, nice lift, extrovert but just lacking a little poise towards the mocha/cassis-driven finish. Perhaps this could do with a little more bottle age? I prefer the personality of the Pichon-Lalande, but this is still very fine. Drink now-2015. Tasted October 2008. By Neal Martin May 2009
