CHATEAU LAFITE 1999 |

Château Lafite 1999 Pauillac, 1er Cru ClasséDraconian selection produced this level of quality. Early on, there was an aromatic nose, not as ripe as 2000 and 200l, and a real coffee taste which was very winning. A recent bottle had a really interesting mocha and cassis nose, with a touch of cloves. Very lanolin texture. Not absolute ripeness, but a very good cherry flavour.
