The red wine Château Lafite-Rothschild, vintage 1955 from the winery Château Lafite-Rothschild has been rated in 2009 with 98 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape varieties Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon from the region Pauillac in France.
Light crimson in colour with fine orange-red reflections and a broad, watery rim. Sweet and seductive on the nose, with subtle aromas of dark berries, eucalyptus, mint and ripe plum, as well as suede and Havana tobacco leaves, multi-faceted and convincing. The palate is medium-bodied with a highly elegant texture, racy and freshly structured, with perfectly integrated tannins and lemony nuances, this is a silky, highly delicate wine, seductively fruited delicately reminiscent of raspberry, with very good length. An absolute highlight of the tasting easily outperforming the famous 53 in the glass next to it! Drink +20 years.
