Château Lafite-Rothschild 1978
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Offered in an original wooden case. In original tissues. Levels: seven into neck, two base of neck and three very top-shoulder
Tasting note: A dozen notes, several recently in magnums and bottles. Trying hard to retain its fleeting fragrance. Most recently, in magnums, one with a whiff of oxidation but the other with a lovely colour, soft, with brown-edged maturity; characteristic, attractive, oyster-shell bouquet on the verge of cracking up; lean, flavoury, pleasant, needs drinking. More than just interesting. Last tasted April 2006. At best *** Drink soon. MB
