CHATEAU LAFITE 1990 |

Château Lafite 1990 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classéu. 1bn, labels 3 slightly damp spotted, 3 slightly scuffed, very slightly worn capsules, Taiwan importer's back label57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc. In 2017, from our own stock, absolutely superb, seducing everyone at the table. It is the sheer, glossy beauty that is unbeatable. Youthful and silky, it fills the mouth with flavour and discreet power. Landmark Lafite. And, in 2018, on a wonderful Glyndebourne evening (Lafite has always been a key supporter of this great opera festival), pure bliss, so immensely scented and heady. One can see why it is the leader of the pack! Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 966 bts (sc)Estimates are per lot
