Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1865
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Level: into neck, hand blown bottle, slip label states that it was recorked in 1981. To the rear Christie's original lot sticker. Main label applied at the time of the recorking, 1865 typed in red, damp soiled label.
The 1865 was other-worldly. The first word I wrote after smelling it was "wow!". The color is a medium garnet with considerable rust and orange at the edge. The wine possessed an extrordinary fragrance, great density, and fabulous intenisty of chocolate, herb and the cedar-like flavors with a wonderful, sweet, inner-core of opulent fruit. The finish is long and velvety, with no hard edges. It is hard to imagine a 130-year old wine (made when American Civil War adversaries, Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant, were alive) tasting so extraordinary, but I was there-I saw it, I smelled it, I tasted it, and I drank it! Unreal! Robert M. Parker Jr. 1996
