This lot comprises one bottle of 1990 vintage Château Lafite-Rothschild from the Pauillac appellation in Bordeaux.
The appellation Pauillac produces some of the world’s most highly-prized and expensive red wines. Situated to the northwest of the city of Bordeaux, near the Atlantic coast, its vineyards are located on dried-out swamplands. Vines take root in gravel dunes with subterranean clay lens. Here, Cabernet Sauvignon can develop a unique depth of taste and power, so the grape variety therefore makes up a large percentage of the Pauillac cuvées. The tannin-rich, powerful, concentrated wines require longer bottle-ageing in order to differentiate and reveal their taste. The Classification of 1855 put the vineyards of the Lafite-Rothschild and Latour estates ahead of the pack, awarding them Premier cru status. Mouton-Rothschild has also belonged to the club since 1973. In second place are the Deuxième crus of Pichon-Longueville-Baron and Pichon-Longueville-Comtesse de Lalande. For decades, however, experts have judged them as being at least on a par with their Premier cru counterparts. This is also the case for numerous other top wines from this appellation.
1990 was a great year for Bordeaux wine. The warm, sunny weather was hardly interrupted, producing fantastic wines in Pomerol and Saint-Émilion in particular. This wine will also taste magnificent today.
The 1990 vintage Lafite-Rothschild was last awarded 96 points by Robert Parker. Swiss Bordeaux expert René Gabriel rated the wine 20 of 20 points. James Suckling rated the wine 95 points on Wine Spectator’s website.
The fill level is excellent (into neck). The label and capsule are in perfect condition.
