Château Lafite-Rothschild 1947
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Three corroded capsules, one with sign of old seepage. One slightly bin-soiled and four bin-soiled labels with minor damage. Levels: one top, one just below top , two mid and one low-shoulder
Tasting note: Later, charm and power noted though prickly acidity became more noticeable. Still delicious. Mellowing yet acidity trying to catch up. Most recently, two half-bottles from Berry Bros' cellars; looking relaxed, with attractive, slightly smoky bouquet; now lean but very agreeable. Last tasted April 2005. At best **** Drink up. MB
