A LOVELY COLLECTION OF LAFITE-ROTHSCHILD INCLUDING THE RARE 1934 VINTAGE


Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1934
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Offered in cartons. Lot 535: reconditioned at the Château. Slightly damaged capsule. Bin-soiled, slightly torn label, the 19 on the 1934 vintage is missing. Level very top-shoulder. Lot 536: slightly bin-soiled label. Level low-shoulder

Tasting note: Variable through the 1960s and 1970s. A superb magnum in 1988, sweet, richly flavoured, over-mature. Most recently: lovely colour, glowing, rich 'legs'; immediately forthcoming, fragrant bouquet, with sweet, honeyed development; sweet, soft, fleshy, excellent flavour and still quite a bite. ***** M.B.
