Details
Château Lafite-Rothschild 2009
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
In original wooden case
Tasting note: The 2009 Lafite Rothschild is a candidate for “wine of the vintage.” There is not a hard edge to be found in this inky/purple-colored wine displaying notes of charcoal, incense, black currants, and licorice. In the mouth, it represents a liqueur of black fruits offered in a remarkably full-bodied, incredibly elegant, lush style. Expansive, savory, staggeringly concentrated, and voluptuous as well as wonderfully precise with a hint of minerality, this sensational wine’s technical numbers are off the charts. This is a 50-100-year wine. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #188 Apr 2010
