Default 1970 Lafite Rothschild

I recently purchased 6 bottles of 70 Lafite Rothschild. I opened one
tonight. I have not tasted it yet. I have some real questions about the
authenticity of these bottles. The labels were pristine. They did not look
almost 35 years old. Upon removing the cork it looked the appropriate age.
There was next to nothing printed on it. What was there was next to
illegible. I do not have anything to compare the cork to. I am used to the
vintage and the seal of the vinyard printed on the cork. Has anyone here
had a Lafite Rothschild to compare it to? The bouquet of the wine was very
good. I will report the taste after dinner.

Fred.
