Magnum 1982 Chateau Lafite Rothschild. Drank w K at M School auction in Napa. Amazing. Such a great contrast to the 1989 Haut Brion. This didn't have that gamey character. Smooth, less acid, velvet mouthfeel and long finish. Epic. Hands down winner. Such a treat — 11 years ago

Brick, light robe. Haut Medoc, same area as Lafitte-Rothschild. Leather, tobacco, dry red fruit. Great with filet mignon, no sauce. Grown on deep gravel = perfect for Cabernet Sauvignon. Very good — 11 years ago
