chateau lafitte rothschild

[TheEngineer]

There are plenty of people on this stie that know more about this wine than me but a quick google search revealed that this wine lists with Nickolls and Perks (UK: Stourbridge) for just a over 80 Pounds per bottle. However, personal sales will always bring less than retail.

Can I be his friend too?

Medium to dark ruby with some browning at the edges, this wine is approaching maturity and exhibits an interesting, moderately intense bouquet of ripe plums, spicy oak, and leather. Plenty of tannin is still evident, but the overall balance and depth of fruit suggest that the tannin will clearly outlive the fruit. It lacks the depth and concentration to be great, but for the vintage it is a respectable Mouton for drinking over the next decade. I must say that the wine's evolution has been much slower than I would have suspected.
