Chteau Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1899
Pauillac, 1er cru class. Chteau-bottled
Very bin-soiled label, worn and slightly torn. Recent chteau capsule. Believed re-corked by the chteau in the last 20 years. Level base of neck
Tasted eight times. At its best it can be superb. An incredibly beautiful bouquet and flavour at the Overton tasting in 1979: one mise d'AG and E de Rothschild, ullaged, cloudy and pass in 1981, and another, bottled by Eschenauer, very varnishy at Flatt's Lafite tasting in 1988. Most recently a superb, re-corked, double-magnum: feminine, fragrant bouquet with a whiff of tangerine and taste to match. Perfect weight, gentle, beautifully balanced.
