Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1990
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
In original wooden cases
Tasting note: The Penning-Rowsell '10-year' first growth tasting was much looked forward to by Jancis Robinson and me. We were not disappointed. All the wines were within a point or so, Lafite level pegging with Margaux and Latour. The Lafite was still fairly deep, plummy coloured but maturing; bouquet evolving well; soft, fleshy, good length; complete - all that was needed was time, more bottle age. ***(**) M.B.
