Château Lafite 1961 (3 BT)

Château Lafite 1961 

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

u. 1ts, 1t/hs, 1h/ms, 2 slightly damp stained and bin soiled labels, 1 heavily damp stained and bin soiled label, signs of old seepage, different importers

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
