Château Lafite Rothschild--Vintage 2008
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
In original wooden cases
Tasting note: A candidate for the -wine of the vintage,- Representing 40 of the production, this blend of 83 Cabernet Sauvignon, 13 Merlot and 4 Cabernet Franc offers aromas of high quality unsmoked cigar tobacco, lead pencil shavings, crème de cassis, earth, cedar and asphalt. Full, rich and stunningly concentrated, I doubt it is inferior to the 2010, just more classic as well as slightly more forward and a degree weaker in alcoholic potency (12.5 versus 13.5. The 2008 should be relatively drinkable in 6-10 years as it is already showing remarkable complexity and breed, and will last for 30-35 years...at the minimum.
