PROPERTY OF A GENTLEMAN COLLECTOR
Removed from an underground cellar on the East Coast
Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1961
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Level: top shoulder; remnants of label, vintage just legible, capsule cut to confirm vintage
"...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 "biscuity" bouquet. It had the sweetness of fully ripe grapes and alcohol, a mouthfilling flavour, very good tannins and acidity. Complete... Most recently noted at a pre-sale tasting in New York, May 1999. At best ***** Will keep. Give it time to breathe." MB, Vintage Wine
