Description

Château Lafite 2011

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

Excellent level and appearance, embossed metal capsule, tissue wrapped


80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot. Great, classic, cassis nose. Beautifully formed with endless scent. Stunning structure. So juicy and healthy. They captured the freshness here. Seamless blueberries. You may think this is Cabernet Sauvignon but this is Lafite! One of the greatest wines of the vintage - it stunned us all. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
