Chateau Lafite 1945 Chateau Lafite 1945 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe Excellent level, label badly damp stained, soiled, slightly creased and with small nicks, back label states "Rebouchage par le Maitre de Chai du Chateau en 1992", 1945 embossed on shoulder, new Chateau capsule, Last drunk at home to bring in the New Year 2010, a truly magnificent bottle that came from my late father-in-law's cellar. 1945, 2000 and 2008 were the only years when the bottle was embossed with the vintage. The colour was like a deep, 20-year old Tawny Port. My drinking partner (and husband) David Peppercorn made the spot-on remark, 'sooner or later, Lafite takes over from the vintage' - and this was never more true. An intoxicating, exciting bouquet of heather and honey - pure nostalgia - with that ethereal Lafite quality. You could almost drink it on the nose. You do not feel you are drinking a big, tannic wine, but there is firmness and luscious body behind the scented bliss. The fabulous, persistent, sweet Lafite flavour at the end, together with the extraordinary Lafite taste of a rich compote of wild herbs. As David says, all-conquering Lafite, all through. SS. Lot 713 1 bt (cn) per lot: GBP 900-1200 per lot: USD 1450-1900 per lot: EUR 1000-1350 Quantity: 1
