Dark ruby, opaque core, purple reflections, faint watery edge. On the nose somewhat restrained roasted aromas, delicate roasted plum, inviting berry confit, orange zest, fine tobacco nuances, smoky, cedary savouriness. On the palate dark berry fruit, cherry, vivid tannins, which are well integrated, but at the same time still demanding, at the moment somewhat closed, sweet roasted aromas, pleasant freshness. Future potential, great, complex wine.
More about the tasting »World Champions: Château Lafite-Rothschild«Dark ruby in colour with an opaque core, purple reflections, and delicately watery rim. Somewhat restrained roasted aromas on the nose, subtle roasted plum, inviting berry confit, orange zest, fine tobacco nuances, smoky, cedar spice. Dark berry and cherry fruit on the palate, with pronounced, well-integrated, yet still demanding tannins. Somewhat closed at the moment, with sweet roasted notes, the freshness revealing the good terroir, this certainly has ageing potential, a great, multi-layered wine. (Tasted 2008).
