Well, I had never tasted the 1874 Lafite-Rothschild until my trip to Hong Kong, and then, by sheer chance, a second was opened at an unrelated dinner with entirely different persons. The first is château-bottled and had come via Michael Broadbent back in the day, yet it was clearly past its best. Fleeting glimpses of rooibos and nail varnish, the oxidation quickly swarms and, attractive in an odd way, indicates a wine that should have been drunk at the turn of the century - the 20th, not the 21st. Consequently, a second bottle was approached with low expectations. This came from the late John Avery's cellar and had been recorked in 2016. This is the real deal. Clear in hue, it has an ethereal bouquet that is quintessential Lafite, wilted rose petals. It has a captivating, almost Burgundy-like transparency with faint touches of cigar smoke. The palate is medium-bodied, and the tannins are a little edgy, with red fruit mixed with cedar. This is a lilting and tender Lafite-Rothschild embroidered with exquisite piquancy on the finish. Utterly delightful. Tasted at the Lafite-Rothschild vertical at Ami restaurant in Hong Kong.
