Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1934
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Reconditionned at the Château. Slightly damaged capsule. Bin-soiled and slightly torn label, the 19 on the 1934 vintage is missing. Level very top-shoulder
Variable through the 1960s and 1970s. A superb magnum in 1988, sweet, richly flavoured, over-mature. Most recently: lovely colour, glowing, rich 'legs'; immediately forthcoming, fragrant bouquet, with sweet, honeyed development; sweet, soft, fleshy, excellent flavour and still quite a bite. Last tasted Nov 2005. At best ***** M.B.
