Chteau Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1900
Pauillac, 1er cru class. Chteau-bottled
Bottled in Dublin in 1903 and bought be Abbey Leix. Chteau Lafite 1900 hand painted onto bottle. Remains of embossed capsules with bottlers details. Lots 1299 and 1300 levels base of neck and lots 1301 and 1302 levels very top-shoulder
Tasting note: Five notes: opulent, delicious, magnificent at the Overton tasting in 1979. A memorable "Rserve du chteau" bottle at an equally memorable dinner at the Dolder Grand Hotel in Zurich to celebrate the publication of the German edition of The Great Vintage Wine Book: lovely colour, mahogany edge; overripe gibier bouquet, like an old cedar cigarbox, or singed hair. Touch of sweetness, fullish weight and style though fading, still with residual tannin. At best ***** M.B.
