Details
Château Lafite Rothschild--Vintage 1945
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Damaged and creased capsule, cut to reveal cork branding. Slightly bin-soiled label. Level close to base of neck. Slope-shouldered bottle. Good colour. In carton
Tasting Note: Nearly 30 notes, yet despite the varying occasions and contexts, what is remarkable is the relatively little bottle variation. Just about every note refers to a glorious fragrance which seems to unravel itself after 15 to 20 minutes in the glass. Most recently: another faultless bottle: lovely soft colour; classic bouquet, sweet, touch of iron, fragrant, developed richly; also sweet on the palate, mouthfilling flavour, life-preserving tannin still evident. A lovely wine. Last tasted November 2005 ***** M.B.
