Details
THE MAGNIFICENT 1945 CHATEAU LAFITE ROTHSCHILD
Lying in Weybridge, Surrey (EHD)
Offered duty-paid, but available in bond
Château Lafite Rothschild--Vintage 1945
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Six slightly corroded capsules. Six reconditioned at the Château 1983. Nine slightly damaged labels, otherwise good appearance. Levels: one into neck, five base of neck, six top-shoulder
Tasting note: Latterly, a perfect bottle in 2003: superb bouquet that held for 5 hours; still sweet, spicy, gorgeous sustained flavour. Most recently: another faultless bottle: lovely soft colour; classic bouquet, sweet, touch of iron, fragrant, developed richly; also sweet on the palate, mouthfilling flavour, life-preserving tannin still evident. A lovely wine. Last tasted Nov 2005 ***** M.B.
