Bordeaux Book(1998) Author: Robert Parker

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. Last tasted 3/97

Another excellent vintage for Lafite. Extremely fresh, with lovely blackberry and cassis character, a medium body and full tannins. Needs time. --The Bordeaux 50.

Decanted at 4:45 for sediment, tasted, rebottled and set aside for dinner (approx 4.5 hours, alternating with and without cork at cellar temp). Initial reaction was massive relief. The cork had been forced a quarter inch into the bottle by a curious friend the night before, moving up my schedule for drinking this one. Cork was unsalvageable and had to be forced (though it didn't require much) into the bottle. Deep garnet, no mentionable bricking, modest sediment, fine grained tannins and plum. Saddle leather and smoke. Around 10 (1 hour after pouring) raspberry and leather, asian spice, cedar and cigar box. Really gorgeous color, again no real bricking. Wet earth, strawberry and iron. Eventually rose petals and a deepening raspberry with hints of cocoa and pencil shavings.
