A SUPERLATIVE PRISTINE COLLECTION OF FINE RECENT VINTAGES OF LAFITE ROTHSCHILD
The following lots, 325 to 345, consist of perfect original wooden cases of Château Lafite-Rothschild that have been shipped directly from the Château to underground professional UK storage following each vintage. This is as close in provenance as can be found to wines released directly from the Château cellars and represents a rare opportunity for bidders to acquire multiple cases of legendary Château Lafite from a range of vintages. David Elswood
Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1996
Pauillac, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled Tasting Note: The wine exhibits a thick-looking, ruby/purple colour, and a knock-out nose of lead pencil, minerals, flowers, and blackcurrant scents. Extremely powerful and full-bodied, with remarkable complexity for such a young wine, this huge Lafite is oozing with extract and richness, yet has managed to preserve its quintessentially elegant personality. This wine is even richer than it was prior to bottling. It should unquestionably last for 40-50 years. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2050. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 122 (Apr 1999)
