Château Lafite 1996 Pauillac, 1er Cru ClasséLot 381: Tissue wrapped prior to inspection, Lot 382: Slightly scuffed capsules, tissue-wrapped prior to inspection, levels into the neckAt a 2009 dinner in Hong Kong, a glorious spicy nose, like the smell of Christmas pudding cooking! Huge black cherries and liquorice taste. Perfect composition, bursting with fruit and health. Big impact wine. In 2012, as deeply concentrated as ever, just flexing its muscles.
