Chateau Lafite 1989 Chateau Lafite 1989 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe Excellent levels, good appearance The middle of a stunning trio of Lafites and my absolute favourite. 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot. In 2012, extremely scented nose of great class and breed. Smoky too. Great 'family' similarity with the 1988. Almost minty/chocolatey in flavour. A lovely sweet, ripe finish. I think this will go on for ever. Serena Sutcliffe, MW Lot 18 3 mags (cn) per lot: GBP 2000-2400 per lot: USD 3200-3800 per lot: EUR 2200-2800 Throughout the centuries, Lafite has proved that this is a wine that ages in the most ethereal way. Lafite combines elegance, breed and scent with sustained power, a miracle of balance and nobility. The extraordinary terroir and position in Pauillac have always been matched by the Rothschilds' sense of quality and vision, resulting in a wine that has mythical status. Continuity is vital in producing a great wine and the wine-making brilliance of Charles Chevallier from the 1990s to the present day has added extra lustre to this exceptional liquid, with the fame of the property spreading further throughout the world. When serving Lafite, decant it well in advance of drinking as its bouquet and taste amplify to multi-faceted dimensions on contact with the air. At the Chateau itself, they double decant, back into the original bottle with its unchanging, instantly recognisable label. Lafite matures slowly, developing gloriously with bottle age, as historic tastings have shown. Collect Lafite for yourself and watch it grow!
