Château Lafite--Vintage 1959
.Pauillac, 1er cru classé.
.Levels: lot AAA six top, one upper shoulder. Lot BBB eleven top shoulder or better, one upper shoulder.Lightly soiled labels.
."Overall, Lafite '59 has a deep lively appearance, ruby centre grading off to a fine mature rim; marvellously fragrant bouquet, touch of vanilla, cedar, citrus fruit, spice - it keeps evolving in the glass. Distinctly on the sweet side - ripe grapes, alcohol, extract, all the appropriate component parts. Fairly full-bodied, crisp, firm, yet fleshy, lovely flavour and great length." GVWB
