Details
Château Lafite--Vintage 1875
Pauillac, 1er cru classé.
Excellent general appearance; appears to be original bottling with top-shoulder level, deep color, and clean label
"The most delicately delicious of all the pre-phylloxera vintages.
More reliable than the 1874 and, at its best, still a most beautiful
drink. Considered at the time to be too light and evanescent -- which just proves that (like 1929 or 1953) claret can be charming from cradle to grave." JMB
