Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (RP): 99 "The 1959 is unquestionably the greatest Lafite-Rothschild that has approached full maturity ... The super-aromatic bouquet of flowers, black truffles, cedar, lead pencil, and red fruits is followed by one of the most powerful and concentrated Lafites I have tasted. Medium to full-bodied, velvety-textured, rich, and pure, it is a testament to what this great estate can achieve when it hits the mark." |
