Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1955
3 bottles per lot
Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1955 Pauillac, 1er cru classé Offered in a carton. Slightly corroded capsules. Bin-soiled labels. Levels: one just below-top, one upper and one mid/upper-shoulder Tasting Note: A delightful, well nigh perfect Lafite vintage. Developing fragrance and nuances of flavour. Beguiling if one has the patience, opportunity and time; and do not let a touch of astringency marr its lingering flavour and aftertaste. In some ways it epitomizes all the virtues, that nouveau tasters and writers despise: delicacy, charm, subtlety, length and the sort of weight - or lack of it - that makes this sort of wine such a perfect drink or "food wine", to use a more vulgar term. A beautiful lady, slow to reveal her charm, needing patience and understanding. 2000 ***** M.B. 3 bottles per lot
