Château Lafite 2015 (3 BT)

Château Lafite 2015

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

Individual owcs, cases still banded

Cabernet Sauvignon 91%, Merlot 9%. In 2019, ultimate breed on the nose and pure Lafite. Juicy, long and sleek on the palate, with elegance over power, but with the balance to keep, as ever here. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
