2001 LAFITE-ROTHSCHILD
Offered in original six-bottle wooden cases
Recently removed from excellent cellarage
Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 2001
Pauillac, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
Tasting note: The 2001 Lafite Rothschilds deep, saturated plum/purple color is accompanied by lead pencil liqueur-like notes intermixed with sweet red and black currants, plums, and cedar. This blend of 86.5 Cabernet Sauvignon and 13.5 Merlot is a classic example of Lafite. Extremely elegant, medium-bodied, with intense concentration, richness, and sweet tannin, it appears to be on a rapid evolutionary track, at least in comparison to recent Lafite vintages that have been far more backward and powerful. The classy 2001 should be at its finest between 2007-2020. 94 points. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #153, June 2004
