The red wine Château Lafite-Rothschild, vintage 1928 from the winery Château Lafite-Rothschild has been rated in 2009 with 95 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape varieties Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon from the region Pauillac in France.
The twin vintage of the 1929: slightly lighter ruby garnet with orange reflections and a broader rim. Inviting notes of Malaga raisins on the nose, orange zest, freshly crushed cassis leaves, delicate hints of dried plums, fine herbal spice, with more air a little towards damp undergrowth. Juicy on the palate, slightly vegetal base note, good sweetness that carries through to the finish, has a certain port wine spiciness, although it has little alcohol, some nougat on the finish, very harmonious, still going strong, deviates somewhat from the classic Lafite style. Serena Sutcliffe, MW, head of "Sotheby's wine department", pointed out that the entire 1928 vintage was based on Lafite
