LAFITE
What can be said about Lafite-Rothschild that hasn't already been said? A wine of initable class and elegance that inevitably lives up to its first growth classification, Maréchal de Richelieu brought Lafite to the court of Louis XV and referred to it's taste as comparable to "the ambrosia of the Gods of Olympus." What is often noted about older Lafite is its delicacy. When compared to wines from Château Mouton Rothschild, for example, the Lafite comes across softer and more delicate, with a lighter color and more floral bouquet. In Vintage Wine, Michael Broadbent commented of the five star 1982 vintage, "One thing is certain, it is not a delicate wallflower."
