Written Notes

There was only one place to go from here, that being the 19th century, of course. There were three wines from the 1800s, and I started with the oldest, that being the 1846 Lafite Rothschild. Someone cried, ‘History!’ They then took off all their clothes and ran naked into the snow. Just kidding J. I should add that all three had been reconditioned at some point by the chateau, as was the 1900 magnum. There was smoke and gas here along with wealthy fruit. Its creamy and luscious nose was deep and foresty with vanilla and light wood. The palate was more citrusy, soft and tangy (93).
