Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1877
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Re-corked in 1983. Bin-soiled label. Level into neck
Tasting note: An archetypal Lafite, fullish ruby; a bouquet which opened up beautifully in the glass; sweetish, full flavoured yet silky ( a magnum from the château in 1967). Then at Flatt's tasting in 1988 a bottle, recorked at the château: pale, bright, appealing; nose fragrant, slightly smoky, again blossoming in the glass. A lovely, sweet old wine with good length. Last tasted June 2001. At best **** M.B.
