Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1893
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
All magnums and bottles recorked and recapsuled by the Château in 1992, except lot 805. The magnums with binsoiled original labels; the bottles with both original and new Château labels, except one bottle in lot 809 with new Château label only
Lot 803 level: into neck. Lot 804 level: into neck; label torn and partially missing. Lot 805 level: upper-mid shoulder; bottle not recorked; original embossed Château foil with corrosion and signs of old seepage. Lot 806-809 levels: all into neck
Parcel: lots 806-808
Provenance : Rothschild family Paris cellar sale June 1976.
A bakingly hot summer leading to the earliest ever start of picking at Lafite on 15 August. The first major vintage in Bordeaux since the onset of phylloxera.
Tasted many times over a period of 25 years. Variable, but at best, as with this provenance, the wine will still be fairly deep; its bouquet rich and ripe; a touch of sweetness, richly fragrant yet delicate. A rare mouthful. MB
