Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Lot 255 levels: into neck; three slightly protruding corks, tissue-stained capsules, signs of old seepage
Lot 256 levels: into neck; four slightly protruding corks, five signs of old seepage
Lot 257 levels: bottom neck or better; three protruding corks, two signs of old seepage, one very lightly nicked label
Lot 258 levels: bottom neck or better
Lot 259 levels: bottom neck or better; one slightly protruding cork, one slightly depressed cork, one tissue stained capsule

Lot 255 in original wooden case
"The Lafite was still fairly deep, plummy coloured but maturing; bouquet evolving well; soft, fleshy, good length; complete - all that was needed was time, more bottle age. Its unreadiness for drinking was demonstrated at a Lafite dinner with Eric de Rothschild at Brooks's in London. The roast grey partridge was unable to compete. Nevertheless, the penetratingly lovely bouquet and flavour were appreciated. Strange though how a wine so beguiling and easy in its youth can close up. Its second wind is eagerly awaited. 2015-2040."
