Château Lafite-Rothschild 1955
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Original corks. New capsules and new labels. Levels: into-neck
Tasting note: A delightful, well-nigh perfect Lafite vintage. Many notes. Misleadingly advanced in the early 1960s but, as so frequently, developing fragrances and nuances of flavour. Beguiling if one has the patience, opportunity and time; and do not let a touch of astringency marr its lingering flavour and aftertaste. In some ways it epitomises all the virtues, that nouveau tasters and writers despise: delicacy, charm, subtlety, length and the sort of weight – or lack of it – that makes this sort of wine such a perfect drink or ‘food wine’, to use a more vulgar term. A beautiful lady, slow to reveal her charms, needing patience and understanding. Last tasted Aug 2000 ***** Should still be delicious M.B.
