Country: France
Region: Pauillac
Grape Varietal: 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8.5% Merlot, 0.5% Petit Verdot
Tasting Note:
Dark colour with glints of purple giving the wine a bright, lively appearance.
The nose is still quite closed but suggests tremendous depth. Aromas of black and red fruit, and cedar, characteristic of Lafite's wines, then emerge.
On the palate, the attack is impressive thanks to a remarkable blend that expresses its full harmony and power in a long, fresh finish.
This was an unusual year, and yet Lafite managed to demonstrate its extraordinary potential while at the same time keeping its balance and elegance.
