Description:

Chateau Lafite 1988
Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe
u: all into neck, some bin soil and label staining
"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!" R. Parker, 94 pts. 10/94

Estimate $1,600-2,200
