Pale brick red, very wide orange edge, 3.5 Mature ethereal mushroomy bouquet which after 15 min. turned more pencil like Delicate palate, lT, m+A, l+B, dry, really very evolved and almost fragile. Appears much older than it’s real age but interesting and enjoyable.

(6-2010) This was a strange wine as at the beginning it was rather tart and disappointing. And after 45 minutes or so it was starting to return to that state, but about 20-30 minutes after pouring it was absolutely glorious in typically Lafite lighter, but soaring, register. Mid ruby. A bit rusty. Light and a bit raw. Very light in fact. Lots of acidity. But then it came out and, I suspect, would have been even more impressive had it not been served alongside the powerhouse of Latour 1970.

Lafite Rothschild produces about 15,000 to 20,000 cases per year.
