Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1961
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Six discoloured capsules, one corroded. Two with Italian import strip labels. Two bin-soiled and five slightly bin-soiled labels. Levels: three upper, three mid/upper, one mid-shoulder
Tasting note: In 2003: glorious scent, very rich, 'singed' and after 3 hours fragrant though fading. Dry, firm, a touch of astringency. Most recently, a magnum: medium depth, fully mature; sweet, rich, lovely bouquet; much sweeter on the palate from start to finish. Delicious flavour. Perfect balance. Last tasted Nov 2005 ***** M.B.
