Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1976
Pauillac, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
Bin-soiled and slightly damaged labels. Levels 3.3. cms. or better below base of corks. In original wooden case with replacement base
Tasting Note: The 1976 Lafite clearly stands far above the crowd in this vintage. A beautiful bouquet of seductive cedarwood, spices, and ripe fruit precedes a very concentrated, darkly coloured wine, with great length and texture. Some amber is just beginning to appear at the edge. The 1976 has turned out to be the best Lafite of the '70s. It is gorgeous to drink at present. Robert Parker. Bordeaux Book 3rd Edition (1998)
