Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1899
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Level: upper shoulder; bin soiled label; re-corked and capsule cut to reveal vintage branded cork
...In 1978 at a Heublein pre-sale tasting, two bottles from the Ten Broeck mansion, New York curiously labelled "mise d'A.G. & E. Rothschild", one low and "blown", the other quite good, "a little tart, but clean"! An exquisite bottle at the Overton tasting in 1979 and a rather varnishy one at Lloyd Flatt's in 1988. More recently, a spectacular, recorked, double magnum: fragrant, gentle, beautifully balanced. Last noted at Walter Eigensatz's tasting, May 1999. At best ***** MB, Vintage Wine
