Lying in Weybridge, Surrey (EHD)
Château Lafite Rothschild--Vintage 1988
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Good appearance. Level into neck
Tasting note: Broodingly backward and in need of considerable bottle age, the 1988 is a classic expression of Lafite. This deeply coloured wine exhibits the tell-tale Lafite bouquet of cedar, subtle herbs, dried pit fruits, minerals, and cassis. Extremely concentrated, with brilliantly focused flavours and huge tannins, this backward, yet impressively endowed Lafite-Rothschild may well turn out to be the wine of the vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2000-2035. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #95 October 1994
