Lying in Weybridge, Surrey (EHD)
Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1996
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
In original wooden case
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. The wine of the vintage? 100 Points. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 122 (Apr 1999)
