Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1996
1 dozen bottles per lot
Property of a Fine Wine Connoisseur The following 10 cases of Château Lafite have recently been removed from the immaculate cellars of a long-time Christie's client, having been stored there since release. His passion for fine wine begun after the first of many meetings and trips with Robert Parker and he has made a concerted effort to collect only the very best from the leading wine regions of the world. Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1996 Pauillac, 1er cru classé All lots in original wooden cases Parcel: lots 154-163 "Tasted three times since bottling, the 1996 Lafite-Rothschild is unquestionably this renowned estate's greatest wine. As I indicated last year, only 38 of the crop was deemed grand enough to be put into the final blend, which is atypically high in Cabernet Sauvignon (83 Cabernet Sauvignon, 7 Cabernet Franc, 7 Merlot, and 3 Petit Verdot). This massive wine may be the biggest, largest-scaled Lafite I have ever tasted. It will require many years to come around, so I suspect all of us past the age of fifty might want to give serious consideration as to whether we should be laying away multiple cases of this wine. It is also the first Lafite-Rothschild to be put into a new engraved bottle (designed to prevent fraudulent imitations). The wine exhibits a thick-looking, ruby/purple color, and a knock-out nose of lead pencil, minerals, flowers, and black currant scents. Extremely powerful and full-bodied, with remarkable complexity for such a young wine, this huge Lafite is oozing with extract and richness, yet has managed to preserve its quintessentially elegant personality. This wine is even richer than it was prior to bottling. It should unquestionably last for 40-50 years. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2050. The wine of the vintage?" Robert Parker Wine Advocate #122 (Apr 1999) 1 dozen bottles per lot
