1982 is considered the "vintage of the century" in Bordeaux because Bordeaux was sunny and the grapes were of excellent quality. For Lafite and even the entire Bordeaux, 1982 is an extraordinary year. It witnessed the great revival of the Bordeaux region. It is not an exaggeration to call it the most important year in the history of Bordeaux.

This wine has a beautiful, gentle and generous soul and an elegant, refined and delicate wine style. The aroma in the nose is still dominated by the fragrance of fresh fruits and elegant baking aroma. The moment you enter the mouth, you are occupied by power, but there is no sense of excess, followed by a fleeting vitality. The freshness of the aftertaste, the grainy tannins and the soft texture of the oak all discuss the huge aging potential of this wine.

In addition to the fact that 1982 is indeed a great year, there are also certain factors. Wine critic Robert Parker called 1982 "one of the best years of the 20th century" when many experts were not optimistic about it, betting on a lifetime of wisdom. Later, as Parker's influence grew, the 1982 Lafite became a classic of the century.
