Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1994
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Because Lafite-Rothschild (1) tends to lack the weight of many wines of the northern Médoc, and (2) is never a flashy, ostentatious style of wine, it is often more difficult to evaluate when young than some of its neighbors. Made from nearly 100 Cabernet Sauvignon, this dark ruby/purple-colored wine is stubbornly backward, unappealing, and severe and astringent on the palate. There is plenty of weight, and the wine possesses admirable purity, with no suggestion of herbaceousness or underripe fruit, but the wine's personality refuses to be coaxed from the glass. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #109 (Feb 1997)
