Description

Château Lafite 1945 

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

u. 1ts, 2hs, bin soiled and nicked labels nicked capsules, torn capsule partially revealing cork, different importers, believed late release from the Château

It is worth remembering that 1945, 2000 and 2008 were the only years when the bottles were embossed with the vintage. In 2018, courtesy of a very generous friend, we saw again the inimitable scent and breed of this wine, all heathery perfume. There is a touch of volatility that sets in after a while, but the integrated, elegant, seamless side of Lafite caresses the palate, with silky sweetness and mouth-enveloping richness. Above all, it is all-conquering, signature Lafite, with myriad, smoky black fruit flavours that keep on making an appearance until the last drop. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
