Château Lafite 1998 (6 MAG)

Château Lafite 1998

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

Levels bn or into the neck, 2 scuffed capsules, 2 bottles show signs of seepage

My top Left Bank wine of the vintage. Spicy breed all the way through, with a touch of raspberries. Really tempting black fruit too and a lovely juicy finish.  From Imperial in 2010, this was just so young and concentrated. In bottle, it is aristocratic and oozing allure. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
