Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1945
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Levels: one very top, two top, one upper and one upper/mid shoulder; three labels missing, two bin soiled labels, two taped labels, corroded capsules, two slightly protruding corks
"My most recent notes include a flawless magnum at the Eigensatz tasting in 1993 and an extraordinarily good magnum, despite its mid-sholder level, at Christan Sveass' great dinner in Oslo. The cork was sound so the air in the ullage must have been benign. The wine had a beautiful colour; medium deep, with rich 'legs' but not intense, unlike the flanking Margaux and La Mission, the colours of which seemed to press the sides of the glass. Just about every note over the years refers to a glorious fragrance which seems to unravel itself after 15 or 20 minutes in the glass. Also noticed at the Sveass dinner, and previously, its sweetness to which one adds, unoriginally, rich, soft, with masked tannins. A glorious mouthful. Last noted April 1996 *****" MB, Vintage Wine
