2002 Ch. Lafite Rothschild

A deep intensity purple coloured dry red Bordeaux with quite intense aromas of blackcurrant, plum, cherry, violet, pencil shaving, anise and trace of spice box and smoke. Medium acidity, alcohol and fuller than medium bodied. Medium soft and fine grained tannin too. On palate it gives over medium intensity flavours of black cherry, cedar, licorice, and touch of bell pepper. Fairly long length with black cherry finish. (94) Elegant balance on all aspects. Fruity on palate while spicy on nose. Delicious.

拉菲嘅魔力在於四平八穩，這酒也是一樣。更神奇的是酒的香氣以香料味為主調，但是酒在口中的時候，果味反而比香料味更出色，餘韻長、酒力強、複雜性高，係高質的，亦沒什麼可彈。
