Description
Château Lafite 1953
Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé
u. 1vts, 2ts, 1t/hs, 1hs, 2ms, wine comes from different importers, damp soiled, scuffed and peeling labels, short capsules reveal vintage on corks, 3 slightly raised corks, 2 corroded capsules, excellent color and clarity
I have had many perfectly delicious bottles of this, with textbook Lafite beauty and harmony, delicacy of flavour and the true trademark long finish. It is getting older, of course, and my last bottle in 2009 was all sweetness and cinnamon, but beginning to dry up. As usual, with wines of this age, every bottle is different, enhanced by the variation in provenance, as one would expect. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
