Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1990
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Offered in original wooden case
Tasting note: The 1990 Lafite has turned out far better than my early assessment. While it still possesses some firmness, and performs like a late adolescent in terms of its evolution, it boasts gorgeous aromas of cedar, tobacco leaf, cassis, and lead pencil shavings. The explosive aromas are followed by a fleshy, full-bodied wine that should hit its peak in 5-8 years, and last for 25-30 more. 96 points. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate # 183 (Jun 2009)
