"Wow! This bottle was the perfect riposte to those who denigrate the work of Lafite in this vintage. The wine had a hugely complex nose with hints of fresh blackcurrant, fig, cedar, smoke, allspice and a wonderful floral note. On the palate the wine has a marvelous texture: vibrant and fresh, yet still powerful, deep and long. Really a very good bottle indeed. A wine that still definitely warrants further cellaring if you can possibly wait." CC, At a Christie's dinner at Lung King Heen, Hong Kong, May 2011
