Château Lafite-Rothschild, Ch. Lafite Rothschild 1973

72 / 100 Robert Parker
One of the charming 1973s, this light, somewhat watery, thin wine has Lafite's classic perfumed bouquet, short, compact, agreeable flavors, and little tannin. That was in 1980, the last time I tasted it.

87 / 100 Wine Spectator
A buttery, smoky-tasting Lafite that seems to owe its flavor more to wood than grapes, but it's enjoyable. Drink now.--Lafite Rothschild vertical. –
