THE LEGENDARY 1870 LAFITE
Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1870
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Re-capsuled, corked and labelled at the Château in 1983. Capsule cut to reveal fully branded Château cork. Level: into neck
"Most recently rising to the occasion, a bottle re-corked in 1980: still fairly deep with a fine mahogany-mature edge. Just after decanting, it emitted a Mouton like spicy scent. After 30 minutes in the glass it reminded me Heitz Martha's Vineyard Cabernet: pure eucolyptus on the palate; dry, its fine flavour matching the bouquet, wonderful length, still buoyed up by its original tannins. At best five stars." MB Vintage Wine
