Description
Château Lafite 2000
Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé
Heavily wine-stained labels, 2 of which slightly scuffed, 1 of which remnants of tissue adhered
...A blend of 93.3% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot, the wine still has a dark ruby/purple color and an extraordinarily youthful nose of graphite, black currants, sweet, unsmoked cigar tobacco, and flowers. The wine is rich, medium to full-bodied, but has that ethereal elegance and purity that is always Lafite. I originally predicted that it would first reach maturity in 2011, but I would push that back by 5-7 years now, although it has 50-60 years of life in front of it. WA 98+ - 06/10
