Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1978
Pauillac, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
Tasting Note: Most recently, in magnums, one with a whiff of oxidation but the other with a lovely colour, soft, with brown-edged maturity; characteristic, attractive, oyster-shell bouquet on the verge of cracking up; lean, flavoury, pleasant, needs drinking. More than just interesting. Last tasted April 2006. At best *** Drink soon. M.B.
