Chateau Lafite Rothschild Vertical Tasting

One of my absolute favorite wines of all-time is the 1959 Chateau Lafite Rothschild. It is a wonderment, a life’s moment, a privilege, and rated a perfect score of 100 points.  I have been working on a private wine collection for some months now, and there happens to be three magnums of the 1959 Chateau Lafite Rothschild in this perfectly maintained underground home wine cellar.  I have been dreaming about tasting this wine again and I have decided to add some other Chateau Lafite vintages to create a special, historic tasting event. And, in fact, the retail value of the wines we are opening is $20,000. 

Here is the tasting line-up from this cellar: 

1959 Chateau Lafite Rothschild, Magnum 

1966 Chateau Lafite Rothschild, Magnum 

1979 Chateau Lafite Rothschild, 750 ml 

1983 Chateau Lafite Rothschild, 750 ml
