Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1959

97 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar

Outer quote mark Full medium red with an amber edge. Ineffable aromas of red plum, raw currant, cedar and menthol. Offers an extraordinary combination of silky texture and brilliant acidity and snap. A wine of great extract and penetrating sweetness. Finishes with big, noble tannins and great persistence.
