Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1996
Pauillac, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled Tasting Note: Very deep and intense, with opaque core but showing signs of maturity at its rim; very good nose, cedary, subdued - will need air and coaxing; surprisingly sweet, good firm fruit, almost chewable, and long dry finish. As so often, this is a wine that needs time and patience, particularly in a vintage like '96. Last tasted May 2007**(**) M.B.
