Château Lafite 1978 (10 BT)

Château Lafite 1978

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

u. 3t/hs, 7h/ms, damp-stained and bin-soiled labels, 1 slightly torn label, 1 slightly raised cork, 1 signs of old seepage, 2 heavily corroded capsules, packed in unbranded 12 bottle wooden case

I always loved this wine from the start and now, from magnum, it is terrific. Very aromatic bouquet, symptomatic of this late vintage. So much fat and glycerol on the palate. Finishes so spicy and lacy. The most recent bottle had a meaty nose. Tea and roses. Really rich and spicy. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
