In 2020, that ethereal, 'up in the sky', heather, camphor and cedar wood bouquet, with a sweet touch. Pure, inimitable Lafite, that sheer 'other world' characteristic. Such sweet, cherry flavours, with filigree laciness and an endless, lingering finish. The problem with Lafite is that it is a bit addictive! David Peppercorn drank the 1893 at the same stage of its life and he thought this was even better, with more vigour - there is absolutely no fading here. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

酒香華麗馥郁，與木桐堡有些相似--它們的葡萄園相連，如此不足為奇。散發陣陣檀木香氣。至今依然迷人，曾經是2009年拉菲堡垂直年份品試的焦點。酒精濃度已不比從前，但魅力依舊。施慧娜 （葡萄酒大師 M.W.）
