Lot Details

Description

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

u. 1vts, 1ts, bin-soiled and damp-stained labels, oxidized capsules, 73cl

The vintage marked the start of Eric de Rothschild's regime at Lafite, with all the improvement that this brought. In 2009, this had an absolutely classic, top Pauillac nose, cedary and fruity. Then a lovely explosion of cassis berries on the palate. An excellent bottle, with a long finish and real consistency all through. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
