Details
Château Lafite-Rothschild 1994
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Recent release, good appearance, in original tissues
Levels into neck
In original wooden case, bands removed for inspection purposes
Tasting Note: "By 2001 dry, raw and tannic. More recently two magnums given plenty of decanting time: still youthful, plummy rim; low-keyed’ earthy, iron flavour, touch of tartness. Eight months later, two more magnums, double decanted: very slight variation but neither particularly praiseworthy, unknit, slightly stalky, whiff like new-sawn timber; flavoury, crisp but raw." Last tasted Dec 2004 ** MB
