Product Description
JA96 "The bottle we had in Hong Kong was corked, but I tracked down a second bottle from a reliable source in Bordeaux, and this famously impressive Lafite lived up to billing. It's quite different in character from the 1966 Latour, the tannins finer, the focus more on wild strawberry, rosehip and white tea, with campfire smoke, with long-drawn-out waves of crushed roses. Captures the quiet joy of a mature Lafite, with a mouthwatering send off, and I'd bet on it remaining on this plateau for a while longer. Baron Élie de Rothschild was running the estate at the time, as he has been since 1946, a late harvest starting on October 6." JA Mar. 2025.
