1970 Lafite Rothschild
1970 Lafite Rothschild - not decanted - Palish colour with faded brick orange rim but holding colour quite well obviously fully mature but attractive nose very subtle cassis and mineral if touch medicinal very light in body light tannins just in evidence but acidity rapidily increasing over the 45 minutes after opening masking any fruit - looked good on opening all things considered but have to drink pretty quick - over the hill but still enough going on to hold interest - more historical curiosity now me thinks
