Château Lafite 1999 (6 BT)

Château Lafite 1999

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

1 slightly scuffed label, 2 slightly sunken corks, in a 12-bottle owc with partially damaged lid

Draconian selection produced this level of quality. Early on, there was an aromatic nose, not as ripe as 2000 and 2001, and a real coffee taste which was very winning. A recent bottle had a really interesting mocha and cassis nose, with a touch of cloves. Very lanolin texture. Not absolute ripeness, but a very good cherry flavour. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

WA 95

在嚴格的挑選下才釀造出如此傑出的佳釀。一入口一股香氣撲鼻，她雖不如2000和2001年份般成熟，卻有一股怡人的咖啡味。陳年十載我更嚐到莫卡咖啡和黑加侖子的香氣。如羊脂般的口感，酒身沒有過分成熟但卻有一股可人的櫻桃味道。施慧娜 (葡萄酒大師 M.W.)
