TOP QUALITY BORDEAUX FROM THE 1996 VINTAGE
Lying in Weybridge, Surrey (EHD)
Offered duty-paid, but available in bond
Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1996
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
In original wooden case
Tasting note: Classic Lafite. Most recently: still very deep and intense, with opaque core but showing signs of maturity at its rim; very good nose, cedary, subdued - will need air and coaxing; surprisingly sweet, good fruit, almost chewable, good firm fruit and long dry finish. As previously noted, a wine that so often needs time and patience, particularly in a vintage like '96. Last tasted March 2006 (****) 2016 M.B.
