97 Robert Parker
Composed of 97% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2.5% Merlot and 0.5% Petit Verdot, the 2017 Lafite Rothschild is deep garnet-purple colored. It opens slowly, cautiously with restrained notes of chocolate-covered cherries, mulberries, warm blackcurrants and wild blueberries, followed by emerging notions of smoked meats, fragrant earth, crushed rocks and lilacs with touches of cast-iron pan and Marmite toast. Medium-bodied, the palate is deceptively light and quite ethereal on entry, growing in the mouth to reveal elegant layers of energetic red and black fruits with tons of savory accents. Framed by exquisitely ripe, wonderfully fine-grained tannins, it has exhilarating freshness and a very long, hypnotically perfumed finish. On a final note, the alcohol here is a jaw-dropping 12.5%, which is something of a miracle considering the ripeness of the Cabernet. A total head-turner, I cannot wait to follow the development of this wine!<br/>
96 Vinous
During en primeur, the 2017 Lafite-Rothschild was one of the most impressive wines of the Left Bank. Today, it is equally impressive. An ample, richly constituted wine, the 2017 is an unusually dark, somber Lafite, with a percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon that is among the highest ever here. There is a sort of monastic sense of austerity that gives the wine its impression of reserve. Dark cherry, plum, chocolate, licorice, spice and menthol develop in the glass, but it will be many years before it awakens. Readers will have to be patient but there is a lot to look forward to here. Like many of his colleagues, Technical Director Eric Kohler opted for gentle extractions and incorporated a relatively high amount of press wine (16%) into the blend. Those are merely details, though, because the 2017 Lafite is stellar.
96 Wine Spectator
This is a youthful tumble of warmed black currant, fig and blackberry paste flavors, entwined with bay leaf, tobacco, savory, lilac, smoldering charcoal and warm cast iron notes. Terrific stony minerality zips everything up for now, but riveting acidity and excellent energy should carry this easily in the cellar. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Best from 2025 through 2040.
Produttore
Château Lafite Rothschild
Tradizionale, elegante e leggendaria: sono solo alcune delle parole che possono descrivere la tenuta di Bordeaux più famosa del mondo, Château Lafite Rothschild. Di proprietà dei Domaines Barons de Rothschild sin dal XVIII secolo, la tenuta Premier Cru è rimasta "leader per i vini pregiati", producendo vini di altissima qualità per decenni. Tra i più grandi produttori del Pauillac, la tenuta possiede oltre 100 ettari di vigneti piantati per il 75% a Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% a Merlot, 4% a Cabernet Franc e solo per l'1% a Petit Verdot. Due terzi dei vigneti formano un solo grande appezzamento intorno allo Château, mentre il terzo rimanente si intreccia con quelli di Duhart-Milon. La rinomata azienda vitivinicola del Médoc produce un Grand Vin profumato ed espressivo, il Château Lafite Rothschild, che rappresenta l'essenza dell'armonia tra uomo e natura. Con lo stesso senso di raffinatezza, Les Carruades de Lafite Rothschild è prodotto con un contenuto maggiore di Merlot. Questo vino eccezionale è molto più ragguardevole di una seconda etichetta media. Entrambi i vini trascorrono da 15 a 20 anni di cantina, per raggiungere la massima omogeneità tra i potenti tannini e gli aromi di cedro e ribes nero.
