Producer: Chateau Lafite-RothschildRegion: Pauillac, Bordeaux, FranceBlend: Bordeaux Red BlendYear: 1979  Wine Spectator, 92 Points  "Fruity, deep and firm, filled with plum and cherry, backed by youthful, stiff tannins. Needs time for complexity to develop."  Winemaker Notes:  "Dark ruby color, ripe black currants, violets and vanilla, spicy, oaky scents. The wine has great finesse and a particular softness imparted by the Merlot. It tends to be firm yet delicate and supple, great elegance develops with age."  *Discounts do not apply to items like this one in the Fine & Rare category. Price and availability in store may vary.
