Château Lafite 2000 (12 BT)

Château Lafite 2000

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

Excellent levels and appearance, tissue wrapped

Great scent, dominated by loganberries when it was young. Superb, juicy black fruit on the palate. Such a ripe finish, mouthwatering all the way through. That real, total super-healthy 2000 nose to it. One now senses the opulence of this wine, with all its layers. Such a vivid taste of plums. Such fresh acidity - still a baby. This will last a century if desired, so think two generations on. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
