Description

Château Lafite 1961

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

u. 3ts, 4t/hs, 5h/ms, very slightly scuffed and soil labels, slightly worn and corroded capsules of which 2 slightly damaged at top, slight signs of old seepage, purchased from Sotheby's The Philanthropist Cellar in Hong Kong in 2018


In 2016 from double magnum, it was beside the 1959 in the same format, a rare occurrence. The 1959 was richer, thicker and more mouthfilling, but the 1961 revels in scent, sweetness and elegance, with a spiciness that is intriguing and a gentleness now that lingers long on the palate. The intensity is in the persistence, the breed in the terroir. Serena Sutcliffe, MW


2016年品嚐三公升裝,罕有地同時品嚐到相同瓶裝的1959年。1959年較為濃厚,口感飽滿;1961年則酒香四溢,香甜優雅,一抹迷人辛香,柔順感覺縈繞不去。濃烈持久,盡顯拉菲堡特色。施慧娜(葡萄酒大師M.W.)
