Description
Château Lafite 1999
Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé
3 wine-stained labels, 1 of which remants of tissue adhered, 1 nicked label, 1 wrinkled and bin-marked label
...This prodigious wine is both elegant and intensely flavored, and almost diaphanous in its layers that unfold with no heaviness. An opaque ruby/purple color is accompanied by a complex bouquet of lead pencil, graphite, cedar, creme de cassis, toast, and vanilla. It is medium-bodied, with extravagant layers of richness yet little weight, and a finish that is all sweetness, ripeness, and harmony. This extraordinary Lafite increasingly appears to be a modern day clone of the majestic 1953. A mere one-third of the crop made it into the grand vin! WA 95 - 04/02
