Description

Château Lafite 1949
Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé
u. 1ts, 1t/hs, 3hs, good color and clarity, soiled and glue stained labels, slightly scuffed capsules

Glorious bouquet - the enchantment and distinctive quality of Lafite in this wondrous year is still stunning at 55 years old. It never seems big but has enormous concentration and flavour. This, for me, has always been one of the great Lafites. My most recent bottle had a lovely, heart-of-Claret, candied nose. Dreamy, ethereal, lacy Lafite. To die for. Raspberry finish.
