Description
Château Lafite 1961
Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé
Lot 1160: u. 6vts, good color and clarity, 2 slightly soiled labels, 1 slightly torn label, Lot 1161: u. 3ts, 3t/hs, good color and clarity, slightly soiled labels, 1 capsule corroded on top
In 2016 from double magnum, it was beside the 1959 in the same format, a rare occurrence. The 1959 was richer, thicker and more mouthfilling, but the 1961 revels in scent, sweetness and elegance, with a spiciness that is intriguing and a gentleness now that lingers long on the palate. The intensity is in the persistence, the breed in the terroir. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
