Note di degustazione
I would not be surprised to see this wine fill out with several additional years in the bottle, largely because Lafite is a notoriously bad performer in the first few years after bottling. Out of cask, the 1987 was the most complex wine I tasted from this vintage, but now, the nose seems only a fraction of what it was from cask. The lead-pencil, vanillin-scented, leafy, cedary bouquet is just beginning to emerge. In the mouth, the wine is light, displaying a soft, supple texture, some acidity, but little tannin. It will probably improve, and may ultimately merit a higher score. Anticipated maturity: Now-1999. Last tasted, 10/90.

Buttery, spicy wood tones accent the modest cherry flavors. A good Lafite to drink now through 1996.--Lafite Rothschild vertical. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 1991
A soft charcoal-scented nose followed a classy palate that is approaching the end of life. Blackberry and coffee-tinged on palate but a short finish. Very brusque, lacking the charm of Mouton-Rothschild 1987. Drink up. Tasted September 1998. Neal Martin, eRobertParker.com
