CHATEAU LAFITE 1996 |

Château Lafite 1996 Pauillac, 1er Cru ClasséLevels into the neck, slightly bin-soiled labels, slightly scuffed capsules, import strip overlapping original import stripAt 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.
