Lafite - 1988 (750ml) Merlot with brilliantly focused flavors andBroodingly backward and in need of considerable bottle age, the 1988 is a classic expression of Lafite. This deeply colored wine exhibits the tell tale Lafite bouquet of cedar, subtle herbs, dried pit fruits, minerals, and cassis. Extremely concentrated, with brilliantly focused flavors and huge tannins, this backward, yet impressively endowed Lafite Rothschild may well turn out to be the wine of the vintage! Anticipated maturity: 2000 2035. Robert
