Château Lafite Rothschild
Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend
Pauillac, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
This was a beautiful wine that kept getting better, even with the impressive talent that was arrayed alongside it. Red berries, some olives and cedar on the nose, it opens with lovely spice notes, a layered richness that became ever more evident as it opened. The Lafite elegance was on prominent display at the mid palate, the fruit at the core of this wine has lovely perfume and still luscious appeal. This impressive wine continued to gain depth and kept blossoming as the night wore on.

Third bottle in a year and this did not disappoint. It's a treat to drink Bordeaux this old and this was simple amazing. Re corked at the chateau in 1991 likely added to the longevity of this beauty. Light crimson color with some fruit and a shit ton of secondary flavors.... This was a treat.

interesting find... smells like vinegar, brownish red color. lots of sediment - not bad though, tastes pretty old, very dry.
