Beautifully aged “off vintage” of Lafite. Fruit has slightly faded, but still pick up some cherry cola on the palate. This wine has grown comfortably into its tertiary state showing earth, mushroom and classic Pauillac mineral notes of graphite. A fine example of Lafite in its twilight years.

From magnum. Beautiful. Leather, soy, acid, cassis, lead. Basically a cornucopia of old BDX goodness.

This had a faint wine color and nose that took some time to penetrate the nose. Overall, pretty good for an aged (70) year old wine.

Vinetasters: Brown Bag (Skokie, IL): Served double blind. Clearly a compromised cork did the wine ill.
