Lot 36 Details
CHÂTEAU LAFITE ROTHSCHILD 1990

Pauillac. 1er Cru Classé

While it still possesses some firmness, and performs like a late adolescent in terms of its evolution, it boasts gorgeous aromas of cedar, tobacco leaf, cassis, and lead pencil shavings. The explosive aromas are followed by a fleshy, full-bodied wine that should hit its peak in 5-8 years, and last for 25-30 more. June 2009 Drink: 2014-2044 WS 96 WA 96

3 bts.    per lot $3,000 - $3,500

Realised: $4,080
