One of the charming 1973s, this light, somewhat watery, thin wine has Lafites classic perfumed bouquet, short, compact, agreeable flavors, and little tannin. That was in 1980, the last time I tasted it. Anticipated maturity: Now-probably in serious decline. Last tasted, 12/80. (Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition, The Wine Advocate 1st Jan 1998)
