Chateau Lafite 2000 Chateau Lafite 2000 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe Lot 3011: 2 Very slightly nicked labels Lot 3012: Damp soiled labels, Lot 3014: Damaged lid Lot 3015: Original tissue 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. In 2009, 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. SS. See illustration Lot 3009 12 bts (owc) Lot 3010 12 bts (owc) Lot 3011 12 bts (owc) Lot 3012 12 bts (owc) per lot: HKD 120000-190000 per lot: USD 15000-25000 Together with Ausone, Lafite's wines age in the most ethereal way, spanning the centuries with ease. Lafite in the 1990s and into this century has benefited from the extraordinary wine-making brilliance of Charles Chevallier who has added extra lustre to this fabulous terroir. When serving Lafite, decant it well in advance of drinking as its bouquet amplifies to multi-faceted dimensions on contact with the air. Lafite has great, sustained power under all the breed and scent - vinous nobility. It has a habit of starting slowly "off the blocks" and then developing gloriously in bottle, as historic tastings have proven. SS. Quantity: 1
