Château Lafite-Rothschild 2010
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Offered in two original six-bottle wooden cases
Tasting note: The 2010 harvest was relatively late at Lafite. A slightly higher percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon and no petit verdot in the Grand Vin this year. In the analysis the numbers are, like the 2009, almost of the chart. However the 2010 is much different in character to its famous predecessor vintage. If 2009 brings comparisons to 1982 then 2010 is the 1961. A long distance runner less opulent then 2009 but with lots of structure, fruit, and above all a lingering very fine acidity. This is probably the greatest Lafite I have tasted. A wine our children will enjoy drinking as well as we will. April 2011. EV
