CHâTEAU LAFITE-ROTHSCHILD--VINTAGE 1995
PAUILLAC, 1ER CRU CLASSé
TASTING NOTE: THE 1995 LAFITE-ROTHSCHILD (ONLY ONE-THIRD OF THE HARVEST MADE IT INTO THE FINAL BLEND) IS A BLEND OF 75 CABERNET SAUVIGNON, 17 MERLOT, AND 8 CABERNET FRANC. THE WINE WAS SHOWING SPECTACULARLY WELL WHEN I TASTED IT IN NOVEMBER, 1997. IT EXHIBITS A DARK RUBY PURPLE COLOR, AND A SWEET, POWDERED MINERAL, SMOKY, WEEDY CASSIS-SCENTED NOSE. BEAUTIFUL SWEETNESS OF FRUIT IS PRESENT IN THIS MEDIUM-BODIED, TIGHTLY-KNIT, BUT GLORIOUSLY PURE, WELL-DELINEATED LAFITE. THE 1995 IS NOT AS POWERFUL OR AS MASSIVE AS THE 1996, BUT IT IS BEAUTIFULLY MADE WITH OUTSTANDING CREDENTIALS, IN ADDITION TO REMARKABLE PROMISE. ANTICIPATED MATURITY: 2008-2028. 95 POINTS. ROBERT PARKER, WINE ADVOCATE # 115 (FEB 1998)
