Lot Details
Description
Château Lafite 1976
Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé
u. bn, label very slightly damp stained and damp spotted on left side otherwise good appearance, capsule very slightly corroded around collar
In 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.
