Château Lafite 1996

Lot 9043: In original tissues, Lot 9044: Banded prior to inspection, in original tissues

At a 2009 dinner in Hong Kong, a glorious spicy nose, like the smell of Christmas pudding cooking! Huge black cherries and liquorice taste. Perfect composition, bursting with fruit and health. Big impact wine. In 2012, as deeply concentrated as ever, just flexing its muscles. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

WA 100


2009年在香港的一個晚宴中,此酒散發一縷辛辣的芬芳,就如烹調聖誕布丁的香味!雄渾的黑櫻桃及甘草口味。天人合一,充滿健康水果氣息震撼之作。於2012年品嚐,濃稠如常,仍然非常年青。施慧娜(葡萄酒大師M.W.)
