Château Lafite--Vintage 1959RPauillac , 1er cru classé.
Levels of four top-shoulder, one mid-shoulder
"...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 appropriate component parts. Fairly full-bodied, crisp, firm yet fleshy, lovely flavour and great length...five stars, will keep."
