A nice surprise from an unheralded vintage. A broad, spicy brown sugar flavor lends it plenty of substance. Has the juniper and cedar notes that many of the great vintages share. Drink now to 1995.--Lafite Rothschild vertical. –
16 Rene Gabriel
An der grossen Lafite-Probe im Jahr 1994 eine Jeroboam (15/20): Offenes, leicht moosiges Bouquet, dann süsser werdend; Erdbeerenmarmelade. Im Gaumen schlank, jedoch von festem Extrakt begleitet, Butternote und ein verführerisches Schokoladen-, Pralinenfinish. 02: Eine Magnum aus dem Keller von Jimmy Sichel: Sehr helle Farbe. Herrlich süsser, feiner Duft; Ledernoten, dominikanischer Tabak, Ovomaltine. Im Gaumen schlank, sanft laktisch, immer noch als Mittäglicher Wein wunderschön zu geniessen (15/20). 04: Jimmy Sichel nahm zum Abschluss-Diner der Schmidlin Reise eine Magnumflasche ins Les Sources de Caudalie mit: Sehr helle, orange Farbe. Die Nase dezent süss, parfümiert mit frisch geschnittenen Champignons und Hagebuttengelee, dahinter frisch gegerbtes Leder; sehr zart und doch irgendwie wuchtig. Im Gaumen leicht, fragil, aber noch sehr, sehr gut erhalten. vorbei
Producer
Château Lafite Rothschild
Traditional, elegant, and legendary – are just a few words that can describe the world’s most famous Bordeaux estate, Château Lafite Rothschild. Owned by Domaines Barons de Rothschild since the 1700s, the First Growth estate has remained the “leader among fine wines,” producing top-quality wines for decades. As one of the largest producers in Pauillac, the estate owns over 100-hectares of vineyards planted to 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, and a mere 1% Petit Verdot. Two-thirds of the vineyards form a single plot around the château, while the third parcel intertwines with those of Duhart-Milon. The renowned Médoc winery produces a fragrant and soulful Grand Vin, Château Lafite Rothschild that represents the essential harmony found between man and nature. In the same spirit of distinction, Les Carruades de Lafite Rothschild is produced with a higher content of Merlot, this exceptional wine is much more impressive than an average second label. Both wines benefit from 15 to 20 years of cellaring, to achieve the ultimate unity found between the powerful tannins and the aromas of cedar and cassis fruit.
