Chateau Lafite 1996 Chateau Lafite 1996 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe Original tissues Every single time I taste this wine, I am aware of its greatness - power, class, nobility and yet with the utter finesse of Lafite. Dense and thick with damson flavours - I have always thought it eternal. At 13 years old, the bouquet was all deep aromatic intensity and spiciness. Terrific Cabernet Sauvignon depth and concentration on the palate. 'Grand vin' of the first order. I do not find the mint now, replaced by black cassis, dimension and, finally, attack, proving that it has a long way to go - not that I would turn it down now...It is truly a knock-out. Again, 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. SS. See illustration Lot 1131 12 bts (owc) per lot: HKD 90000-140000 per lot: USD 12000-20000 Quantity: 1
