A lightweight, agreeable wine from Lafite, the 1980 has a moderately intense aroma of cassis and fresh tobacco, and soft, charming flavors. A success for the vintage.
A pleasant surprise. Caramel and butter aromas complement tart raspberry and cherry flavors of modest intensity. Fairly light, starting to mature.
Rene Gabriel rates this wine 15/20 points.
