1981 Vintage Bordeaux wines, 30th Birthday Gift, Ruby Wedding Anniversary Gift

1981 Bordeaux Wines

With 25 years careful cellaring, a bottle of 1981 wine makes the perfect ruby wedding gift or 30th birthday present. 1981 was a good claret vintage. The weather conditions were advantageous with early flowering in hot, dry weather which continued throughout the summer with a sprinkling of rain in September to swell the grapes with harvesting late September/early October. 1981 wines are drinking well now and would grace the table of any 30th anniversary or birthday event.

Château Lafite Rothschild 1981 (75cl)

Pauillac, 1er Cru (First Growth)

Condition: Level well into neck. Label has a tear down the centre though all details are clearly legible.

Robert Parker 91 points:
This wine is close to full maturity, but it is capable of holding for another two decades. It reveals the classic Lafite bouquet of red and black fruits, cedar, fruitcake, and tobacco-like aromas. In the mouth, this medium ruby/garnet-colored wine displays a delicacy of fruit and sweet attack, but subtle, well-defined flavors ranging from tobacco, cigar box, cedar, and fruitcake. This is a savory, soft Lafite-Rothschild that is pleasing to both the intellect and the palate. Anticipated maturity: Now-2018. Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition # B1 Jan 1998
