LAFITE
Lafite was very fashionable at the king's table in the time of Louis XV. It had a place of honor at the banquets held by Marshal de Richelieu, and Madame de Pompadour always poured some at her little suppers. It is said that the bouquet of Lafite is very suave and of incomparable delicacy; its savor brings together at the same time the taste of almonds and the scent of violets without it being possible to distinguish whether the one dominates the other. Perhaps, as with great art, Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and if so there can be no doubt as to how this came to be for Lafite is a wine that has always been produced with zealous care.
Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1989
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Lot 52 levels: into neck
Lot 53 levels: eleven into neck, one bottom neck
Both lots in original wooden cases
Parcel: lots 52-53
"Great wine! Riper and darker than most Lafites vintages of Lafite, this shows plum and fig fruit character with an exotic spicy edge and a hint of truffle. On the palate the wine is full bodied, with supple, silken structure, and a great balance. Drinking now but with years to go." CC, November 2009
