Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1998
Pauillac, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
Tasting note: A blend of 81 Cabernet Sauvignon and 19 Merlot, this wine represents only 34 of Lafite's total harvest. In a less than perfect Medoc vintage, it has been spectacular since birth, putting on more weight and flesh over the last year. This opaque purple-colored 1998 is close to perfection. The spectacular nose of lead pencil, smoky, mineral, and black currant fruit soars majestically from the glass. The wine is elegant yet profoundly rich, revealing the essence of Lafite's character. The tannin is sweet, and the wine is spectacularly layered yet never heavy. The finish is sweet, super-rich, yet impeccably balanced and long (50+ seconds). Anticipated maturity: 2007-2035. 98 points. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #134, April 2001
