Wine Spectator January - 2005
Wine Spectator
A wine with aromas and flavours of plum and raspberry. Medium-bodied, with silky tannins and a short finish. Good, but nothing special.

Dark red color. Good intensity. Beautiful. Medium intensity nose. Fruity. Ripe. A touch of leafiness. Cocoa notes on swirling. Wine with a fine texture and fruity taste tinged with a slight green aromatic note that carries through to the finish. Normal length. The 2004 will be riper.

Very light nose, lacking a little vitality and depth. Notes of anise and biscuit. The palate presents a beautiful maturity, discreet tannins and little grip. Finish with notes of tarry fruit. This wine will be an excellent wine to drink from its first tasting.

Jancis Robinson April - 2003

Very deep purple robe and pronounced acidity. Great suppleness (good) but a bit hollow (bad). The least impressive of the best second wines. I suspect that acidity will always be a scourge for this blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon and 46% Merlot, which represents nearly a third of Lafite's total harvest.

Château Lafite Rothschild

Château Lafite Rothschild is one of the oldest and most prestigious estates in the Pauillac appellation, on the left bank of Bordeaux. Its origins date back to the Middle Ages, but it was in the 18th century that the château gained international renown, particularly among the European courts. In the 1855 classification, Château Lafite Rothschild was classified as a Premier Grand Cru Classé, durably cementing its status at the summit of the Bordeaux hierarchy.

Owned by the Rothschild family since 1868, the estate rests on a terroir of fine, deep gravels, perfectly suited to Cabernet Sauvignon. The wines of Château Lafite Rothschild are distinguished by their finesse, aromatic precision and balance, favouring elegance and length over demonstrative power.

Aged in new oak barrels, the wines favour fine tannin grain, freshness and length over power, and require time before opening up. The estate's great reference points range from the 1982 wine, which ushered in the modern era, to the 1989 vintage and the 1996 wine at the turn of the century, then to 2009 and the year 2010, two consecutive years at the pinnacle of the recent period. Carruades de Lafite, more influenced by Merlot and drawn mainly from the eponymous plateau, offers the most accessible expression.
