My first Lafite. Friend of Dr. Lau has his horse won a race in Happy Valley. Hence, opened this bottle of Lafite to celebrate even though its had not matured yet.
Name of Wine: Château Lafite Rothschild
Vintage: 2006
Country/ Region: France, Bordeaux
Remarks: haunting, enchanting, mesmerizing. I couldn't quite say it was anything other than the standard blackcurrant/tobacco/pencil Bordeaux mix, but with a wild intensity and staying power. the graphite of pencil smell was strong. with a hint of oak smell. Finishing was long lasting. excellent tanning. Colour was dark red, which means a relatively new wine. Breathing should have been longer.
