Description

Château Lafite 1998

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

Levels into the neck


My top Left Bank wine of the vintage. Spicy breed all the way through, with a touch of raspberries. Really tempting black fruit too and a lovely juicy finish. From Imperial in 2010, this was just so young and concentrated. In bottle, it is aristocratic and oozing allure. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
