Lafite's light-bodied 1991 possesses moderate ruby color, a solid innercore of fruit, as well as potentially excessive tannin for its size and constitution. The wine exhibits Lafite's subtle personality with a leafy, tobacco, lead pencil nose intertwined with sweet aromas of cassis. Dry, austere, and lacking length, it should turn out to be a good representation of Lafite-Rothschild in this so-so year.

92: Fassprobe (16/20): Feine Frucht mit animalischer Note vermischt. Marroni, fruchtig, eher niedrige Säure, mittlere Länge. Arrivage (16/20): Wirkt im Moment eher zurückhaltend. Der animalische Lederton drückt sich in Kuhglockenriemen aus. Im Gaumen ein elegantes Leichtgewicht, die Frucht zeigt sich erst im Finish. Eine Art 73er. 99: Offenes, bereits sehr erdiges Bouquet, Ledernoten darin. Im Gaumen reif, jedoch leicht über dem Genusshöhepunkt, es mangelt dem Wein generell etwas an Frucht. Noch knappe 16/20 Punkte. 03: Reifendes, ziegelrotes Weinrot mit bräunlichem Schimmer. Delikates Bouquet, Ledernoten, Malztöne, kalter Minze- und Früchtetee, eine morbide, an reifen Rioja erinnernde Süsse. Im Gaumen welke Noten, wieder diese erdige Süsse, weiche Säure und jetzt am Ende der möglichen Genussphase, grüne Komponenten im Finale, die schon grasigen Beigeschmack erzeugen.

A balanced, supple wine, with lovely blackberry, complex vanilla and ripe sweetness. JS

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.
