Château Lafite Rothschild--Vintage 1959
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
One damaged capsule. Bin-soiled labels. Levels: two upper, one mid/upper-shoulder
Tasting note: Two recent notes, first in Nov 2003: richly coloured; rich, ripe bouquet and flavour (superior to a scented but slightly astringent '61). Most recently, a magnum: very deep, with dark cherry core; nose at first holding back, unreleased fragrance, touch of iron; sweet, glorious mouthfilling flavour, great length, spicy, with teeth-gripping tannins. For Lafite, mammoth. And superb. Last tasted Nov 2005 ***** M.B.
