94 Points, Decanter
cabernet sauvignon, merlot

Description

Some vintages of Lafite demand decades in the cellar to reach their full potential, but this one lets you enjoy it now. It comes from a lighter, earlier-maturing growing season, so it has opened up far sooner than Lafite’s bigger years. The estate sits on deep gravel in northern Pauillac, beside the Saint-Estèphe border, and has belonged to the Rothschild family since 1868. In this small vintage, only around a third of the crop made the cut for the grand vin, almost all of it Cabernet Sauvignon. That rigour makes sure the First Growth maintains its high quality. Decant for an hour and serve with roast loin of venison.

Tasting Note

"Superb black-red colour, fine depth of blackcurrant fruit, all elegance, precision, clarity and class, total vineyard expression that will repay keeping." 94 Points, Decanter
