Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1959
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Lot 49 with just below top shoulder level; lightly corroded capsule. Lot 50 levels: one very top, two top, and five just below top shoulder; one torn label
"Overall Lafite '59 has a deep, lively appearance, ruby centre grading off to a fine, mature rim; marvellously fragrant bouquet, touch of vanilla, cedar, citrus fruit, spice--it keeps evolving in the glass. Distinctly on the sweet side--ripe grapes, alcohol, extract, all the appopriate component parts. Fairly full-bodied, crisp, firm, yet fleshy, lovely flavour and great length." GVWB
