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 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.
