Details
Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1989
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Lot 311 not in original wooden case
Tasting Note: At 10 years of age it was beginning to show some maturity; spicy, sweet, with fullness of fruit but not of alcohol, the ideal - for claret - being 12.5 Anyway, a lovely wine; complete. Most recently: a warm, rich colour with a tinge of orange at the rim; very rich, gloriously fragrant bouquet yet with impenetrable depth and concentration; an extraordinary 'attack', very rich entry, nice weight, good fruit, plenty of tannin and acidity. Last tasted May 2002 ***(**) 2010 - 2030. M.B.
