Details
Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1961
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Level: into neck; capsule cut to reveal château branded cork, bin soiled and nicked label, "rebouchage fait par le Maitre de chai du château en 1992"
"...An attractive, rich, convincing colour with perfect gradation from the bowl of the glass to its rim. It was poured and tasted at 8pm, ripeness and bottle age noted. Exactly 30 minutes later it had gained complexity and a rich, spicy biscuity bouquet. It had the sweetness of fully ripe grapes and alcohol, a mouthfilling flavour, very good tannins and acidity. At best. Will keep. Give it time to breathe" Most recently noted at a pre-sale tasting in New York. May 1999, MB, Vintage Wine
