Château Lafite 1979 (1 DM)

Château Lafite 1979

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

u. hs, good color and clarity, label soiled and nicked at edges, capsule badly corroded and damaged on top

I always thought this was a great 1979 and, at 30 years old, it still is. Last tasted (drunk, actually) from magnum. A lovely meaty, chocolatey nose. Some mint too, as it always had. Beautiful middle taste. Real power, with that mocha/mint finish. A lot of 'matière' here. Some mushrooms on the finish. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

我一直認為這是一款極佳的1979年佳釀；陳年三十載，此酒依然風情萬種。上一次品試（應該是享用），是一瓶3公升裝的作品。空氣中泛漾著肉味和巧克力的幽香。一如既往，此酒帶有點點薄荷的特徵。美不勝收的中段口味。震懾人心之作，拌以莫卡咖啡／薄荷的酒後餘韻。應有的盡有。回韻有著磨菇一般的風采。施慧娜（葡萄酒大師M.W.）
