Strong ruby, purple reflections, somewhat feint water edge. Strong smoky-spicy underlay of blackberry jelly, prune, a touch of bouillon, needs a lot of air. Dark berry, taut, sustainable tannins, which still need to soften, a really multilayered wine, peppery notes on the finish, sloe and sour cherry, a touch of noble chocolate in the aftertaste.
More about the tasting »World Champions: Château Lafite-Rothschild«Deep ruby, purple reflections, slightly brightened, delicate watery rim. Strong smoky and spicy blackberry jelly on the nose, some dried plum, a hint of bouillon, needs a lot of air, becomes more multifaceted the more it breathes. Dark berries again on the palate, taut, firm tannins that still need time, a truly multi-layered wine, peppery notes on the finish, with an aftertaste of sloe and sour cherry and a subtle hint of dark chocolate. A real long-distance runner that will gain in sweetness with time, this is a Vin de Garde! Age +40 years.
