Château Lafite 2005 (12 BT)

Château Lafite 2005

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

Good levels, excellent appearance, tissue wrapped

Great, warm, spicy nose. Big, huge, massive rich wine. An absolute 'must have', combining the enormous breed of Lafite with depth and profundity. Great, long, cassis finish. A giant, in all senses of the word. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
