Description
Château Lafite 2000
Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé
Excellent levels, 2 with good appearance, 1 label very slightly soiled and very slightly scuffed; Excellents niveaux, 2 avec belle apparence, 1 étiquette très légèrement sale et très légèrement éraflée
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
