Lot 250 Details
CHÂTEAU LAFITE ROTHSCHILD 2004 (1)
Pauillac. 1er Cru Classé
u. bn.
This beautiful, stunningly dense purple-colored effort (includes about 90% Cabernet Sauvignon) offers up precise notes of graphite, black cherries, cassis, scorched earth, and minerals. Medium to full-bodied with fabulous fruit, impressive richness, refreshing acidity, and sweet tannin, this beauty should be approachable in 4-5 years, and last for three decades. WS 93 WA 95
CHÂTEAU LATOUR 1994 (1)
Pauillac. 1er Cru Classé
u. bn. scuffed & wrinkled label
This full-bodied, powerful, layered Latour reveals high tannin, but no bitterness or astringency. The superb purity, fabulous precision, and remarkable length should ensure 35-40 years of longevity. Readers will find more fat, flesh, and glycerin than usual for a young Latour (save for such great vintages as 1982 and 1990), but don't be deceived, this wine requires 8-10 years of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2035. December 1997 WA 94
