CHATEAU LAFITE 1995

Estimate
US$9,500 - US$12,000
Price realised:
US$10,890
Beschreibung:

Chateau Lafite 1995 Chateau Lafite 1995 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe Wonderfully voluptuous bouquet, stamped with First Growth class. Black cherries and glycerol invade the senses. Coffee beans and pure cassis on the palate. A thoroughbred, to use a racing term - and what could be more apt? In 2009, a very luscious nose and almost a Merlot opulence. A real taste of chocolate and spiced plums. This is all over you, with its very thick texture. SS. Lot 255 12 bts (owc) per lot: USD 9500-12000 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! SS. Quantity: 1
