Château Lafite 1995 (6 MAG)

Château Lafite 1995

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

u. 2bn, capsules slightly scuffed, 1 slightly torn, 1 slightly wine stained, minor signs of old seepage, Taiwan importer's back labels, missing 2 case dividers

Wonderfully voluptuous bouquet, stamped with First Growth class. Black cherries and glycerol invade the senses. Coffee beans and pure cassis on the palate. A thoroughbred, to use a racing term - and what could be more apt? In 2013, a very luscious nose and almost a Merlot opulence. A real taste of chocolate and spiced plums. This is all over you, with its very thick texture. Serena Sutcliffe, MW 

WA 95 

圓渾馥郁的香氣，標誌著一等列級酒莊的水準。黑櫻桃和甘油全然佔據味蕾。咖啡豆和黑加侖子洋溢在口中。套用賽馬術語「純種馬」來形容她相信是最適合不過。2013年時品嚐過一瓶，有著甘醇豐美的香氣，還有濃郁梅樂葡萄的馥芳。實實在在的巧克力和辛辣李子味道。渾厚的酒質，好得教人心悅誠服。施慧娜（葡萄酒大師M.W.）

Provenance

Sotheby’s is honored to offer Part II of The Classic Cellar of an Important Asian Collector. 

Immersed in the vibrant world of hospitality and gastronomy from a young age, the collector has cultivated a sophisticated palate, a deep appreciation for classic wines, and an unwavering commitment to quality. A successful entrepreneur and esteemed wine connoisseur, he is also renowned as a hotel and restaurant operator. His discerning taste shines through in this exceptional collection. 

This remarkable collection features some of the most exquisite Bordeaux Classified Growths and gems from legendary vintages such as Mouton Rothschild 1982, Latour 1982 and Petrus 1989. It also includes distinguished Champagnes from renowned houses such as Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs 1995 and Krug Clos du Mesnil 1990. Complementing these are wines from the iconic Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, spanning the late 1980s to 1990s. Offered in generous parcel quantities, this collection is a true celebration of elegance, tradition, and excellence.

Most of the collection has been acquired over the past three decades from UK and local wine merchants. Almost 100% of the wines were purchased more than 20 years ago. Vintage 1995 and onwards such as Mouton Rothschild and Comte de Champagne were mostly ordered and purchased on release in parcel quantities. The wines have been professionally stored in two professional, temperature-controlled cellars in Taipei since.
