Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1900
Pauillac, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
Levels: one in neck, one bask of neck. One nicked capsule and stained label. The other loose, porteuding and corroded capsule, stained and scudded label. Both recorked and released from the chateau in 1981.
"In the early 1980s, an exciting Réserve du Château, its overripe gamey bouquet like an old cedar cigar box - or singed hair. 'over the hill', it cracked up but was fun while it lasted. Skipping over the ullaged and oxidisedKan excellent magnum, recorked in 1991: still very sweet, rich, good flavour and length, delicious. Last tasted Sept 1996. At best *****" MB, Vintage Wine
