Details
A MAJOR OFFERING OF CLASSIFIED BORDEAUX FROM THE HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL VINTAGES OF THE PAST TWO DECADES AND THE BEST OF CALIFORNIA FROM THE STAND-OUT YEARS OF THE 1990s
All of these wines were purchased on release by the current owner and have been stored in professional storage on the East Coast since that time.
A wonderful opportunity for those wishing to experience the maturing wines of the 1990s now.
Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1989
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
In original wooden case
"My next and most recent note was made at a dinner party at home. Despite a warm rich mature colour with a tinge of orange at the rim, the wine had an extraordinary attack, a very rich 'entry', nice weight, good fruit, plenty of tannin and acidity. And the nose? I had the advantage of smelling and tasting when I decanted it (a magnum) at 4:30pm: very rich, impenitrable depth and concentration. At 6:10pm, sweeter, richer more fragrant...it was still gloriously fragrant, tea like. Last Tasted May 2001 ****(*) Forget it for another ten years: say 2010-2030 or beyond." MB, Vintage Wine
