Château Lafite-Rothschild 1975
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Recent release, all in original tissues. Offered in an original wooden case. New capsules. Pristine condition. Levels into neck
Tasting note: Initially favourable growing season and a good start. However, an imbalance and tannin increasingly intrusive. Several notes from initial tasting in cask (positive, spicy). By 2003, soft fruit yet still tannic. Strange iron and sea-shell nose. Most recently, richly coloured, fully mature; again this pronounced iodine, seaweed nose; very strong flavour, both sweet yet drying out. Very tannic. Last tasted Nov 2005. *** MB
