Bid on this bottle of 1981 Lafite-Rothschild, Pauillac (91RP). Wine Advocate: "This wine is close to full maturity, but it is capable of holding for another two decades. It reveals the classic Lafite bouquet of red and black fruits, cedar, fruitcake, and tobacco-like aromas. In the mouth, this medium ruby/garnet-colored wine displays a delicacy of fruit and sweet attack, but subtle, well-defined flavors ranging from tobacco, cigar box, cedar, and fruitcake. This is a savory, soft Lafite-Rothschild that is pleasing to both the intellect and the palate. (RP)" (12/1997)

Included in this lot · 1 bottle

Provenance: Purchased from a reputable source and stored at a professional temperature-controlled wine storage facility until picked up by K&L.
