Details
Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1979
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
In original wooden case
Levels: base of neck or better
"I have just four notes over the past decade: peppery, high-toned; firm, flavoury but dry (Stockholm 1994). In a 'flight' of four Lafite impériales, spicy, good fruit but raw, very tannic (1996). Yet another impériale: attractive, enough fruit and in particular enough extract and tannin to cope with black truffle and mascarpone-crusted Brie (Bacchus Society 1997). Most recently, Jamie Guise's last magnum: still deep, rich, lovely; distinctly good, distinctly Lafite - it opened up fragrantly; pretty good yet still very tannic. Last noted at a Sunday lunch, July 1999." MB, Vintage Wine
