Château Lafite 1979 (1 MAG)

Château Lafite 1979

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

Label scuffed, soiled and slightly nicked at bottom part, vintage obscuring, capsule scuffed and nicked, pen-marked with "1979" wording, slightly sunken cork

I always thought this was a great 1979 and, at 30 years old, it still is. Last tasted (drunk, actually) from magnum. A lovely meaty, chocolatey nose. Some mint too, as it always had. Beautiful middle taste. Real power, with that mocha/mint finish. A lot of 'matière' here. Some mushrooms on the finish. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

我一直認為這是一款極佳的1979年佳釀；陳年三十載，此酒依然風情萬種。上一次品試（應該是享用），是一瓶3公升裝的作品。空氣中泛漾著肉味和巧克力的幽香。一如既往，此酒帶有點點薄荷的特徵。美不勝收的中段口味。震懾人心之作，拌以莫卡咖啡／薄荷的酒後餘韻。應有的盡有。回韻有著磨菇一般的風采。施慧娜（葡萄酒大師M.W.）
