Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1989
Pauillac, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
Levels into neck. Four slightly scuffed capsules. One very slightly damaged label
"Riper and darker than most vintages of Lafite, this shows plum and fig fruit character with an exotic spicy edge and a hint of truffle. On the palate the wine is full bodied, with supple, silken structure, and a great balance. Drinking now but with years to go." At a Christies tasting. CC, November 2009
12 bottles per lot
