Details
Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1955
Pauillac, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
Very bin-soiled labels. Levels: two base of neck and one mid-shoulder
Tasting note: In some ways it epitomises all the virtues, that nouveau taster and writers despise: delicacy, charm, subtlety, length and the sort of weight - or lack of it - that makes this sort of wine such a perfect drink or 'food wine', to use a more vulgar term. A beautiful lady, slow to reveal her charm, needing patience and understanding. August 2000. M.B. *****
