AN EXCEPTIONAL RANGE OF CHATEAUX FROM THE 1998 VINTAGE
Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1998
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Tasting Note: Cabernet Sauvignon 81 and Merlot 19 No Cabernet Franc or Petit Verdot used. Tasted only once. Very deep, intense; low-keyed but good flesh; complete. Frankly I found it hard to assess at such an early stage, particularly as it was only 9.30 in the morning (preceded by Mouton at 9). But it has to be done! M.B.
