Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1995
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
"The 1995 Lafite-Rothschild (only one-third of the harvest made it into the final blend) is a blend of 75 Cabernet Sauvignon, 17 Merlot, and 8 Cabernet Franc. The wine was showing spectacularly well when I tasted it in November 1997. It exhibits a dark ruby purple color, and a sweet, powdered mineral, smoky, weedy cassis-scented nose. Beautiful sweetness of fruit is present in this medium-bodied, tightly-knit, but gloriously pure, well-delineated Lafite. The 1995 is not as powerful or as massive as the 1996, but it is beautifully made with outstanding credentials, in addition to remarkable promise." Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, Issue 115, 2/98
