Château Lafite 1989 (7 BT)

Château Lafite 1989

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

u. 3bn, very slightly scuffed capsules, 2 very slightly sunken corks

Cabernet Sauvignon 67%, Merlot 33%, a very different grape variety composition compared with the higher Cabernet Sauvignon content of recent years. In 2025 and from magnum, a gloriously scented, beguiling bouquet of great breed. Fabulous cassis, woodsmoke and cedarwood, plus the intensity of Lafite layers. This is a brilliantly balanced expression of a hot, early vintage - and all at 12.5%. The seductive fruit is underpinned by the structure of its great terroir, gliding silkily over the palate with such authority and finesse. Undeniably Lafite and undeniably breathtaking, lush, ripe and opulent. In 2026 and from bottle, the same extraordinary class and obvious potential for eternal life! Serena Sutcliffe, MW

67%卡本納蘇維翁，33%梅樂。葡萄比例與近年相差甚遠。2020年品嚐，朝氣蓬勃的黑加崙子香非常突出，散發無盡活力。滿口雄渾的水果味，背後支撐著鮮明的酒體架構，令人領略到炎熱早收年份的梅鐸區北部風味。收結芳香滿溢，多汁利口。仍可繼續珍藏數十年，希望到時我還能在場見證。施慧娜（葡萄酒大師M.W.）
