it possesses a huge mid-palate

Tasted May 2015

beauty and perfection

Opulent and juicy with intense spiced cherry and raspberry notes

Campaccio veers on the edge of overripeness but there is just enough acidity to keep things in check

Lafite - 1990 (750ml) Japan it possesses a huge mid-palateMedium garnet brick colour. Earthy, Provence herb seasoned aromas of warm cassis and stewed plum with nuances of smoked duck, cracked black pepper and dark soy. The palate leads with structure medium to high, finely grained tannins and medium to high acid. Plenty of complex fruit to flesh out the mid palate with a long, layered finish. Drink now 2030+.
