Details
Château Lafite-Rothschild 1996
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
In original wooden case
Tasting note: 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 firm fruit, almost chewable, and long dry finish. As so often, this is a wine that needs time and patience, particularly in a vintage like '96. Last tasted May 2007**(**) 2016-2030 M.B.
