Written Notes

The 1976 Lafite-Rothschild has for many years been the surprise of an otherwise tricky vintage. This bottle replicated the one I opened back in November 2006. Mature in colour with a wide brick time, the bouquet is open-knit with Montecristos, graphite and dried herbs.

Apart from large formats, there is no benefit from keeping bottles longer. Tasted at lunch in Hong Kong.
