Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1988
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Excellent appearance
In original wooden case
Tasting Note:.....at Penning -Roswell's '10-year' tasting of first growths, fairly deep; a fragrant, mild tea, well-developed nose; sweet, 'rather strange flavour', and soft tannins. Most recently, at a Bordeaux Club dinner (decanted at 5.45pm, served around 8.30pm): very surprisingly sweet, lean, with good favour and masked tannin. Most recently, still very deep, intense, opaque core but on the verge of maturity; high Cabernet Sauvignon noticeable though overall subdued; on the palate, sweet, almost chewable, with a good, long, dry finish. Last tasted March 2006 ***(**) 2008 - 2020. M.B.
