CHâTEAU LAFITE-ROTHSCHILD--VINTAGE 1990
PAUILLAC, 1ER CRU CLASSé
OFFERED IN ORIGINAL WOODEN CASE. VERY GOOD APPEARANCE. LEVELS INTO NECK
TASTING NOTE : THE 1990 LAFITE HAS TURNED OUT FAR BETTER THAN MY EARLY ASSESSMENT. WHILE IT STILL POSSESSES SOME FIRMNESS, AND PERFORMS LIKE A LATE ADOLESCENT IN TERMS OF ITS EVOLUTION, IT BOASTS GORGEOUS AROMAS OF CEDAR, TOBACCO LEAF, CASSIS, AND LEAD PENCIL SHAVINGS. THE EXPLOSIVE AROMAS ARE FOLLOWED BY A FLESHY, FULL-BODIED WINE THAT SHOULD HIT ITS PEAK IN 5-8 YEARS, AND LAST FOR 25-30 MORE. 96 POINTS. ROBERT PARKER, WINE ADVOCATE # 183 (JUN 2009)
