1974 Château Lafite Rothschild

Community Tasting Note

wrote:

Friday, May 23, 2014 - Excellent fill at base of neck; capsule and cork in good condition. Opened and double decanted for one hour. At open, quite alive, with a light garnet/tawny color. A little dusty on the nose, but mostly muted red fruit (!), earth, and some mature aromas. Palate is light, with a bit of fruit behind more savory elements and pronounced tartness/sourness. In all, surprising verve, pretty nose, palate past peak but not completely dead yet. Nice!
