Château Lafite Rothschild vintage 1988
Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

94/100 points Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate #Oct. 1994

Lying in a temperature-controlled cellar duty & tax free in Hong-Kong
5 bottles in good condition

Tasting Note: "Tasted 7 times since bottling with consistent notes
Broodingly 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."
