VERY RARE CLARET INCLUDING LAFITE-ROTHSCHILD 1945
Lying in Weybridge, Surrey (EHD)
Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1945
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Cruse slip label. Bin-soiled and slightly damaged label. Level top-shoulder
Tasting Note: My most recent notes include a flawless magnum at the Eigensatz tasting in 1993 and an extraordinarily good magnum, despite its mid-shoulder level, at a Christian Sveass' great dinner in Oslo. Just about every note over the years refers to a glorious fragrance which seems to unravel itself after 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. Latterly, a perfect bottle in 2003: superb bouquet that held for 5 hours; still sweet, spicy, gorgeous sustained flavour. Most recently: another faultless bottle: lovely soft colour; classic bouquet, sweet, touch of iron, fragrant, developed richly; also sweet on the palate, mouthfilling flavour, life-preserving tannin still evident. A lovely wine. Last tasted Nov 2005 ***** M.B.
