Lafite - 1990 (750ml) Size:750ml Both La Mission-Haut-Brion and Haut-Brion

Both La Mission-Haut-Brion and Haut-Brion hit home runs in this vintage

While the first released vintage was 1998

it offers sweet tannin along with flavors that caress the palate

My notes essentially read the same every year

A beautiful wine by any standards

Lafite - 1990 (750ml) Size:750ml Both La Mission-Haut-Brion and Haut-BrionInterestingly, a bottle of 1990 Lafite Rothschild I pulled from my cellar for a video blog on my web site was still buttoned down, tight, and even with extended decanting was not showing as much as I would have hoped. However, a bottle tasted, of all places, in Seoul, Korea in February, was only a few points short of perfection. That amazing performance motivated me to pull another bottle out of my cellar and follow it over the course of two days.
