Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1945
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Offered in a carton. Good appearance. Level top-shoulder
Tasting Note: 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 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. 1996 ***** M.B.
