Lot 220 Details
CHÂTEAU LAFITE ROTHSCHILD 1999Pauillac. 1er Cru Classé
An opaque ruby/purple color is accompanied by a complex bouquet of lead pencil, graphite, cedar, creme de cassis, toast, and vanilla. It is medium-bodied, with extravagant layers of richness yet little weight, and a finish that is all sweetness, ripeness, and harmony. This extraordinary Lafite increasingly appears to be a modern day clone of the majestic 1953. A mere one-third of the crop made it into the grand vin! Anticipated maturity: 2007-2030. 95 WA
(3 Liters) per lot $2,800 - $3,300
