1974 Château Lafite Rothschild

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

Monday, March 10, 2014 - PnP w/30 min decant. Dry, crumbled cork w/very little stain. Strained/filtered in decanter. Some sediments. End product fairly clear, med/thin red color with just a touch of brown edge. After 10 min, initial funk blew off and nose better than expected with "old wine" notes but fruit did shine through. Taste profile: nutty, dust, stone, cola, cedar, forest floor, mud. Fully resolved tannins/acids, med fruit middle and finish. Slight cork but only at the the very end of finish. Fairly refined and good balance overall, well past it's prime. Still quite a treat.
