Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1993
12 bottles per lot
A NICE SELECTION OF FINE CLARETS All lots are offered in cartons Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1993 Pauillac, 1er cru classé Tasting note: Because Lafite-Rothschild (1) tends to lack the weight of many wines of the northern Medoc, and (2) is never a flashy, ostentatious style of wine, it is often more difficult to evaluate when young than some of its neighbors. A successful wine for Lafite, this dark ruby/purple-colored 1993 is tightly-wound, medium-bodied, with a closed set of aromatics that reluctantly reveal hints of sweet blackcurrant fruit, weedy tobacco, and lead pencil scents. Polished and elegant, with Lafite's noble restraint, this is an excellent, classy, slightly austere wine. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2020. 88 points, Robert Parker Wine Advocate # 109 (Feb. 1997) 12 bottles per lot
