June 26, 2009 - Tasted after a 1993 Lafite Rothschild, and it just blew it away: could asily have been a 1st Growth.
It was fresh, full of rich black fruits, and as mouth filling as a wine can be.
Deepest dark red; long, long finish and close to perfection, except it will clearly get better!
It seemed a youngster in spite of the label age; I would have sworn it was ten years younger.
It had been shaken around on SE Trains, just prior to being poured straight from the bottle, but somehow we escaped the considerable sediment which kindly adhered to the bottle.
Maybe the key was storage; has resided in my cool Transtherm Catel for many, many years (can't remember when I aquired it) and this had clearly deayed the aging process, luckily not to much harm.
The bad news - it was a singleton :(
One of the few I own.
Wonder if I can find some more?9,473 views
