Lot Details

Description

Château Lafite 2009

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

Excellent level and appearance, embossed metal capsule, tissue wrapped, owc lid slightly damaged


82.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, 0.5% Petit Verdot. This has such a concentrated, classy nose, huge, but with great natural balance. There is real cassis there. Great, irony wine, the result of the small, concentrated Cabernet Sauvignon berries. Combines being soft and yet so dense and thick. The tannins are hidden under the richness and polish. Fabulous blackberry fruit. Will last a century and it will always be sensually sweet. Endless and eternal. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
