Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1945
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
In wooden case. Three corroded and damaged capsules, one badly damaged. Badly bin-soiled labels, one torn. Levels: one upper, one mid/upper, one mid-shoulder
Tasting note: "Latterly, a perfect bottle in 2003: superb bouquet that held for 5 hours; still sweet, spicy, gorgeous sustained flavour. Most recently: another faultless bottle: lovely soft colour; classic bouquet, sweet, touch of iron, fragrant, developed richly; also sweet on the palate, mouthfilling flavour, life-preserving tannin still evident. A lovely wine. Last tasted Nov 2005 ***** M.B.
