Château Lafite 2004 (12 BT)

Château Lafite 2004

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

Excellent levels and appearance, tissue wrapped, banded until inspection; Excellents niveaux et apparence, enveloppé de papier de soie, cerclé jusqu'à l'inspection

Dramatic selection for the grand vin produced this quality. Glorious nose of real breed and reach. Really glossy, rich, ripe wine showing the brilliance of both terroir and winemaking. The wine of the vintage for me. At 6 years old, this had a really complex nose of Cabernet Sauvignon intensity - not surprising, as the percentage in the wine was 90.5%. The breed and length of Lafite come singing through, together with its signature silky texture. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

A wonderful spectrum of Claret, spanning nearly 20 years from the late 1990s, at a wide range of price points, featuring First Growths as well as Ausone, Cheval Blanc and not forgetting cases of Petrus 2015 and 2016, the property of a very serious collector
