CHATEAU LAFITE 1988 |

Château Lafite 1988 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classéu. 2bn, 6vts, scuffed labels and capsules, 1 tissue-stained label, 2 torn capsules, 1 slightly sunken cork72% Cabernet Sauvignon in this vintage. In 2019, we drank it with the 1989 and there was all the family resemblance between the two. The 1988 structure has softened, while retaining the depth and glorious aromatic dimension of First Growth Pauillac. Rich and mouth-coating, this is just starting its long-term development.Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 948 bts (sc)Estimates are per lot
