Details
Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1961
Pauillac, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
Lot 229 level: bottom neck; slightly protruding cork, capsule torn at top, signs of old seepage, lightly bin soiled label
Lot 230 level: bottom neck; protruding yet firm cork, capsule torn at top, lightly bin soiled label
Lot 231 level: upper shoulder; lightly torn capsule, signs of old seepage, very lightly torn label, lightly bin soiled label
"...An attractive, rich, convincing colour with perfect gradation from the bowl of the glass to its rim. It was poured and tasted at 8pm, ripeness and bottle age noted. Exactly 30 minutes later it had gained complexity and a rich, spicy "biscuity" bouquet. It had the sweetness of fully ripe grapes and alcohol, a mouthfilling flavour, very good tannins and acidity. Complete... Most recently noted at a pre-sale tasting in New York, May 1999. At best ***** Will keep. Give it time to breathe." Michael Broadbent MW, Vintage Wine
