Château Lafite-Rothschild 1989
12 bottles per lot
Château Lafite-Rothschild 1989 Pauillac, 1er cru classé In original wooden case. Original tissues. Slightly tissue-stained labels, one slightly bin-soiled. Levels base of neck or better Tasting note: As I suspected, the 1989 and 1990 vintages of Lafite-Rothschild have gone dormant. Both wines were among the more closed, backward examples in my blind tasting. The 1989 Lafite is also outstanding, but closed, with the tannin more elevated, and the wine so stubbornly reticent as to make evaluation almost impossible. Lafite's 1989 was far more easy to taste and understand several years ago. It appears to have gone completely to sleep. This medium ruby-coloured, medium-bodied wine reveals new oak in the nose, and a spicy finish. It is a quintessentially elegant, restrained, understated style of Lafite. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2025. Robert Parker Wine Advocate #109, Feb 1997 12 bottles per lot
