Château Lafite 1995 (2 BT)

Château Lafite 1995

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

Levels into neck, tissue paper adhered to import label, 1 slightly scuffed capsule, 1 torn capsule

Wonderfully voluptuous bouquet, stamped with First Growth class. Black cherries and glycerol invade the senses. Coffee beans and pure cassis on the palate. A thoroughbred, to use a racing term - and what could be more apt? In 2013, a very luscious nose and almost a Merlot opulence. A real taste of chocolate and spiced plums. This is all over you, with its very thick texture. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

WA 95[TASTER:PARKER]The 1995 Lafite-Rothschild (only one-third of the harvestmade it into the final blend) is a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17%Merlot, and 8% Cabernet Franc... It exhibits a dark ruby purple color,and a sweet, powdered mineral, smoky, weedy cassis-scented nose.Beautiful sweetness of fruit is present in this medium-bodied,tightly-knit, but gloriously pure, well-delineated Lafite. The 1995 isnot as powerful or as massive as the 1996, but it is beautifully madewith outstanding credentials, in addition to remarkable promise.
