1976 Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac from this lot has the following scores - James Suckling 96 points, John Gilman's View from the Cellar 94 points. This is the tasting note for 1976 Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac from Robert Parker - The 1976 Lafite clearly stands far above the crowd in this vintage. A beautiful bouquet of seductive cedarwood, spices, and ripe fruit precedes a very concentrated, darkly colored wine, with great length and texture. Some amber is just beginning to appear at the edge. The 1976 has turned out to be the best Lafite of the '70s. It is gorgeous to drink at present.
