Château Lafite Rothschild
Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend


Deep and rich and long. The fruit is still rich and really balanced and refilled. Really great stuff. So long and intense. This is ludicrous given its age

Well, I believe that This is one of the best bottles I have ever had. Fresh, bright and defined despite its 56 years of age. Pure Pauillac in the nose, this cassis liqueur is just perfect. A lifetime experience without a doubt. Will live a decade or more.

1959 and still with strong fruit, a powerful, finessed body, and beautiful structure - great acidity to balance the strong body. Smooth with a vibrant kick, but definitely some expected musty earth with this age. Fruit is a bit raisinated but present and persistent. Don't dally once it's open - enjoy! Truly a well made wine. Tasting this was a wonderful reward after sweating through getting the cork out safely!

Well, it's probably the best Bordeaux I've ever had. Ripe/overripe red fruits and wet churned earth on nose. Pallet is soft as the day is long. Super long earthy finish too. An honor to taste.
