拉菲口感一直有一種紥實的感覺，這酒酒力強勁，複雜性高，餘韻長，正值適飲期。有點驚喜的是在口中的果味比香氣更佳，只是口中複雜性不及香氣，是一支四平八穩的高水準作品

二十幾年的酒友這樣的表現真的很神奇，酒的強度冇得頂。香氣及味道都顯得成熟複雜，亦有強度，大熟大勇的狀態。難得的是，酒在口中的果味仍然充盈，餘韻亦很長，好酒一支，似乎已在適飲期，而且相信它的識飲期很長⋯⋯

強度戰勝一切的一支酒。接近30年的陳年，仍有着這樣的強度是十分難得的。酒有着標誌性的波爾多左岸紅酒感覺，但是除此之外在沒有什麼令人覺得驚喜的地方，酒味在口中的複雜性簡單了不少，餘韻亦比想像中短，幾好喝。但這酒在口中的複雜性真的令我覺得簡單了⋯⋯

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。

1996 Ch. Lafite Rothschild

This dry Bordeaux has deep purple colour. On nose it has pronounced aromas of black plum, fresh blackcurrant, violet, black cherry, smoke, trace of pencil shaving and cedar.

廿幾年的酒仍在不斷轉化中，香氣及酒味仍有一段時間可以發展，現在飲已經好好飲了。酒的力度強，複雜性仍然在増強中，很精彩的一枝酒。酒的口感給人四平八穩的感覺，各方面也是站在一個高水準的平衡點，讚!

 極深的顏色加漿果主導的味道，說明這酒的濃度很高。酒的香氣強烈，複雜性在發展中，令人期待。口感豐滿，單寧強但成熟，酒味亦強而有一定複雜，餘韻悠長。這些表現完全是好酒一枝，但仍須發展一下，潛質令人期待。這酒比想像中較啱飲，但陳多些時間可能會更好。

1986 Ch. Lafite Rothschild

 第二次喝這出色年份的拉菲。酒香比上次出色多了。又強又香又複雜的香氣，酒味的複雜性亦很好，雖然不及酒香咁複雜。餘韻長，好酒。難得的是酒的活力很足，酒仍有很強的鮮活感，一點也不像30年的酒。好好味，值得好好品嚐。

1985 Ch. Lafite Rothschild

This wine still possesses deep purple colour but with a paler rim. It has quite high intensity noses of blackcurrant, bell pepper, tobacco, licorice, violet and its typical pencil shaving notes. Dry with medium acidity, alcohol and bodied with medium soft and silky tannin. On palate it has quite high intensity flavours of black cherry, herbaceous, pencil shaving, tobacco and licorice. Long balckberry finish. (92)

貫徹著拉菲的風格，表現四平八穩的。酒的口感柔滑順喉，好易唔覺意成枝"啪"哂。有一定複雜性和強度，餘韻也長，要彈的是複雜性不夠配得起拉菲這個品牌，而且酒已發展到很成熟，甚至開始有點老態，要飲了。

2004 Carruades de Lafite

A deep purple coloured dry red wine with quite high intensity aromas of blackcurrant, menthol, black plum, cedar, earth and touch of pencil. It has medium acidity, alcohol and fuller than medium bodied. Fine-grained medium tannin too.

Tasted on 7 November 2014


表現頗穩定的一枝副牌酒。酒香強而吸引，複雜性亦高。口感亦有著拉菲的優雅均衡感。酒味的複雜性一如大部份2004年酒一樣比較弱了點，這亦反映了在其餘韻上。可口，不錯的酒，但以現今的價格有點不值。

1986 Ch. Lafite Rothschild

A dry wine with almost deep purple colour. It has almost pronounced intensity aromas of blackcurrant, violet, black cherry, smoke, cedar, pencil box and touch of forest floor. Medium acidity, alcohol and fairly full bodied. Tannin is at medium level and soft and smooth in nature. On palate, it gives slightly higher than medium intensity flavours of red cherry, violet, licorice, cedar and touch of pine. Fairly long length with cherry and pine finish. (94)


Tasted on 28 June 2014

 86年酒我說它仍年青是有點難以置信的，但這酒卻說給你知它仍須時間發展。酒香接近完美，香氣的力度及複雜性都十分出色。口感工整柔順。酒味在口中複雜性不降了點，餘韻亦比想像中短了點，但已是一枝出色的酒。不妨多藏幾年，應有更好的品飲回報。

1989 Carruades de Lafite Rothschild

This wine still possesses deep purple colour. It has fairly high noses of bell pepper, mushroom, earth, black plum and touch of violet and vegetal. Dry with medium acidity, alcohol and bodied with barely medium silky tannin. On palate it gives medium intensity flavours of black cherry, herbaceous and touch of licorice and earth. Slightly longer than medium length with black cherry finish. (88)



Tasted on 2 June 2014

這副牌酒顯示了充分發展的酒味，甚至有點過態。酒香及酒味也有一點複雜性，力度也不弱，餘韻也可以，但酒的架構已有鬆散的跡象，相信早一兩年飲會更好。

1994 Ch. Lafite Rothschild

This is a dry red wine with deep purple colour. It has quite high intensity aromas of blackcurrant, black plum, cedar, graphite, herbaceous, prune, pine and earth, quite complex. Medium acidity, alcohol and slightly fuller than medium bodied. Quite vibrant with higher than medium intensity fine-grained tannin. Higher than medium flavours of black plum, bell pepper, herbaceous with touch of oak and tea. Longer than medium length with black plum finish. (92) Quite well developed and concentrated. Nose better than palate. Not at peak tho.

第三次飲，越飲越好，但亦不至於好好。香氣足，夠複雜，但口感跟不上。餘韻不錯，整體上亦令人感到一點優雅，期望它幾年後的表現，但相信不會變成一枝超凡出眾的酒品。

1958 Ch. Lafite Rothschild

This old wine has almost pale rube colour with touch of haziness. On nose it gives medium intensity aromas of black cherry, cedar, and bell pepper type herbaceous notes. It is dry with rather low acidity, alcohol and lighter than medium bodied. You can sense a bit waterly on palate. Medium flavours intensity of red cherry, bell pepper, vegetal and touch of mushroom. The length is a bit surprisingly long, though it is barely longer than medium level with cedar finish. (85) An old wine. All flavours show fading signs. Not too tasty but you should still appreciate that it can stand for half a century.

一個字：淡。但經歷了半個世紀有多的酒也是頗正常。仍有一點點的果味，當然大部分是已發展的氣味，難得的是其餘韻仍在。飲這酒是在享受它的歷史甚於一切。

1994 Ch. Lafite Rothschild

Deep purple wine with paler rim. It has quite high aroma intensity. Blackcurrant, mint, cedar, graphite, smoke with touch of black plum. It is dry with medium refreshing acidity and alcohol.

(92) Vibrant, complex nose and reasonable intensity but lack of mid-palate and length.

拉菲也只是一枝紅酒。氣味不錯，有一定複雜性，但飲在口中便有點失望。餘韻只是比合格好一點，可能是年份問題吧。慶幸的是朋友請我喝的。如用市價計，買來喝就真的要哭了。
