Description

A very good example of this nearly 30 year old First Growth.

A good, clean and unstained label and an embossed capsule to match.
The level is in the neck.

This bottle was bought en primeur and has lain undisturbed ever since in the cellars of a large Dorset manor house.

A couple of commentaries by those who should know:

"Broodingly backward and in need of considerable bottle age, the 1988 is a classic expression of Lafite. This deeply coloured wine exhibits the tell-tale Lafite bouquet of cedar, subtle herbs, dried pit fruits, minerals, and cassis. Extremely concentrated, with brilliantly focused flavours and huge tannins, this backward, yet impressively endowed Lafite-Rothschild may well turn out to be the wine of the vintage! Anticipated maturity: 2000-2035".
(94 Points). Robert Parker. (The Wine Advocate. October 1994).

"Beautiful and subtle on the nose, with mineral, berry, licorice and dark chocolate. Full-bodied with supersilky tannins and a pretty balance of fruit and mint. Long and caressing. Real claret here.
Everyone talks about 1989,but this is very close in quality".
(94 Points). James Suckling. (WineSpectator.com 2009).
