Château Lafite Rothschild--Vintage 2001
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Tasting note: The 2001 Lafite Rothschild's deep, saturated plum/purple colour is accompanied by lead pencil liqueur-like notes intermixed with sweet red and blackcurrants, 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. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 153 (June 2004)
