Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1978
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
In original wooden case
Levels: eight base of neck, four very top-shoulder; lightly glue stained labels
"This wine is distinctively herbaceous and cedary, with surprisingly high acidity, and aggressive tannin in the finish. Its medium garnet color and smoky, roasted herb-scented nose are followed by a wine with good fruit on the attack, but an angular, sharp finish. The wine appears to be closer to full maturity than its younger sibling, the 1979. Anticipated maturity: Now-2010. Last tasted 10/97" Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book 3rd ed. (Jan 1998)
