Details
Chteau Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1870
Pauillac, 1er cru class. Chteau-bottled
Recorked and recapsuled by the Matre de Chai. Original chteau label, with vintage handwritten, faded but excellent for age. Irregular shaped, hand-blown bottle. Level well into neck
Tasting note: anyone thinking Lafite produces only comparatively pale, light, delicate and feminine wines has never heard of, let alone tasted, the Lafite blockbuster of all time. Appearance still deep, fine and rich; nose rather cheesy and sweaty when first poured, but the bouquet rapidly unfurled and improved for well over an hour in the glass. Still a touch of sweetness, still full-bodied, rich, chewy and still tannic. Top marks. M.B. (GVWBII)
