CHATEAU LAFITE 1976 |

Château Lafite 1976 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classéu. 5bn, 5vts, 2ts, slightly bin-soiled labels, 1 corroded capsuleIn 2009, and from double magnum, this is very good 'now' drinking. The very spicy nose leads to lovely aromatic cocoa on the palate. It finishes with delicacy - filigree Lafite. Our own bottles at home are also showing very well, with some fat to match the spiciness. In 2011, vanillin, spicy and mature. Length, elegance and freshness on the palate.
