Details
Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1978
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Levels: bottom neck; bin soiled labels, slight signs of seepage
"This wine is distinctively herbaceous and cedary, with surprisingly high acidity, and aggressive tannin in the finish. Its medium garnet color and smoky, roasted herb-scented nose are followed by a wine with good fruit on the attack, but an angular, sharp finish. The wine appears to be closer to full maturity than its younger sibling, the 1979. Anticipated maturity: Now-2010. Last tasted 10/97" Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition (1998)
