Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1989
Pauillac, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
Lot 602 excellent appearance. Levels bottom neck or better. In six-bottle original wooden case
Lots 603 & 604 excellent appearance. Levels into neck. In twelve-bottle original wooden cases
Tasting Note: "My next and most recent note was made at a dinner party at home. Despite a warm rich mature colour with a tinge of orange at the rim, the wine had an extraordinary attack, a very rich 'entry', nice weight, good fruit, plenty of tannin and acidity. And the nose? I had the advantage of smelling and tasting when I decanted it (a magnum) at 4:30pm: very rich, impenitrable depth and concentration. At 6:10pm, sweeter, richer more fragrant...it was still gloriously fragrant, tea like. Last Tasted May 2001 ****(*) Forget it for another ten years: say 2010-2030 or beyond." MB
