Details
Château Lafite--Vintage 1875
Pauillac, 1er cru classé.
Excellent neck level, deep color, and clean label; recorked by château in 1989
"The most delicately delicious of all the pre-phylloxera vintages... at its best, still a most beautiful drink. Considered at the time to be too light and evanescent - which just proves that (like 1929 or 1953) claret can be charming from cradle to grave." JMB
