The red wine Château Lafite-Rothschild, vintage 1985 from the winery Château Lafite-Rothschild has been rated in 2010 with 94 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape varieties Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon from the region Pauillac in France.
Dark, vibrant ruby-garnet in colour with purple reflections and a touch of rim brightening. A slightly restrained nose shows aromas of dried plums, spices and cherries, with some chocolate caramel underlaid with a hint of graphite and cedar wood. Fine plum jam to the fore on the palate, which is balanced and highly elegant - this is a wine full of charm that has reached perfect drinking maturity. The impression is fresh and seductive, a timeless Lafite classic that has not a gram of fat too much on its bones. Drink/store +25.
