From magnum. Followed everyone's advice and opened 4 hours in advance, decanted 1 hour in advance. This was amazing, as the wine definitely took on weight during that time and evolved into a beautiful sophisticated wine from a rather insipid initial wine. Medium body, beautiful secondary notes, plenty of fruit and tannins resolved. 30 - 40 sec. finish. Rather impressive.

Purple red. Intense. Dark. Beautiful. Clean. Intense. Very fruity with a warm note. Clean. Intense. Syrupy fruits and liquorice. Tender attack developing on a rather soft structure, very fruity and fleshy. Rather concentrated and tasty tannic evolution which leaves a savoury, fresh and well-balanced finish on a complex note of violet and wood. Beautiful tannins. Fine and long wine with pure aromatic expression.

Château Lafite Rothschild

Château Lafite Rothschild, 1st growth classified in 1855, is one of the most renowned Bordeaux châteaux. It shares the top of the official 1855 classification with the greatest estates. Located in the Pauillac appellation, the 103-hectare vineyard is divided into three plots: the slopes surrounding the château, the Carruades plateau to the west, and a 4.5-hectare plot in the neighbouring commune of Saint-Estèphe. The majority of the terroir consists of fine, deep gravel mixed with wind-blown sand on a tertiary limestone base. The grape varieties are 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. The average age of the vines for the grand vin is 40 years, with the 20 hectares of young vines (less than 10 years old) being used for the second wine. There are also extremely old plots of over 80 years, one called 'La Gravière' even dating back to 1886. The wine is aged for 18 to 20 months in 100% new oak barrels. Lafite Rothschild produces approximately 15,000 to 20,000 cases per year. The estate also produces a second wine, Carruades de Lafite, with around 25,000 to 30,000 cases. The name of Château Lafite Rothschild's second wine comes from the 'Carruades plateau', the location of a group of plots that was purchased by the château in the 19th century, adjacent to the château's hillock. 'Carruades de Lafite' was formerly called 'Moulin des Carruades', before taking on the name Carruades de Lafite.

The legendary vintages of Château Lafite Rothschild are 1921, 1945, 1959, 1982, 1986, 1988 and 2000, 2005 in recent years.
