Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1990
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
"The 1990 is riper, richer, and more textured, but mouthsearing tannin and a closed personality make it hard to fully assess. The wine possesses excellent richness, a hint of the unmistakable Lafite perfume of minerals, cedar, lead pencil, and red fruits, medium to full body, moderate weight, admirable richness and overall balance, and a tough finish. Give it a decade of cellaring to shed some tannin and evolve; it may be a 40-50-year Lafite." Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, Issue 109, 2/28/97
1 dozen bottles per lot
