Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1990
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Parcel: lots 896-897
...The Lafite was still fairly deep. plummy coloured but maturing; bouquet evolving well; soft, fleshy, good length; complete - all that was need was time, more bottle age. Its unreadiness for drinking was demonstarted at a Lafite dinner with Eric de Rothschild at Brooks's in London. The roast grey partridge was unable to compete. Nevertheless, the penetratingly lovely bouquet and flavour were appreciated. Strange though how a wine so beguiling and easy in its youth can close up. its second wind eagerly awaited Last noted Nov 2000 ***(**) 2015-2040. MB, Vintage Wine.
