RARE MAGNUMS OF LAFITE OF THE GREAT 1961 VINTAGE
Lying in Twickenham, Middlesex (EHD)
Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1961
Pauillac, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
Excellent appearance and levels
Tasting note: an attractive, rich, convincing colour with perfect gradation from the bowl of the glass to its rim. It was poured and tasted at 8pm, ripeness and bottle age noted. Exactly 30 minutes later it had gained complexity and a rich, spicy 'bouquet'. It had the sweetness of fully ripe grapes and alcohol, a mouthfilling flavour, very good tannins and acidity. Complete. *****. M.B. (March 1999)
