Lot 417 Details
CHÂTEAU LAFITE ROTHSCHILD 1988

Pauillac. 1er Cru Classé
u. bn

Broodingly backward and in need of considerable bottle age, the 1988 is a classic expression of Lafite. This deeply-colored wine exhibits the tell-tale Lafite bouquet of cedar, subtle herbs, dried pit fruits, minerals, and cassis. Extremely concentrated, with brilliantly focused flavors 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. WA 94

1 bt.    per lot $800 - $1,000

Realised: $1,200
Price Includes Buyer's Premium ?
