Château Lafite-Rothschild 1979, 75 cl

The quality of Château Lafite Rothschild needs no introduction. As early as 1815, Abraham Lawton bestowed upon it the highest praise: "It possesses the most elegance and delicacy and has the finest body of the three [premiers crus]"—a classification confirmed in 1855. To describe the wine's consistent character across all vintages, we would like to quote a discerning wine connoisseur: "No matter which, all Château Lafite wines smell of almond and violet!"
