CHÂTEAU LAFITE ROTHSCHILD 1992

Wine 1992 1er Cru Classé  Bordeaux Pauillac

The weather conditions of the 1992 vintage were difficult. The harvest took place under cloudy and somewhat rainy conditions. Nevertheless, the grapes were harvested in excellent condition.
Château Lafitte 1992 is a wine with good levels of tannins, a balanced structure and well marked aromas. The nose is spicy and woody. This classified growth has a magnificent purple color.

Jean-Marc Quarin January - 2001
Jean-Marc Quarin
Dark red color. Medium intensity. Superb black highlights. Slight evolution. Brilliant. Curious nose. Once again, that magical mouthfeel and lots of fruit in the mid-palate. The meticulousness of the tannic texture transcends it and the finish is melting, very fruity, but also marked by a slightly burnt and licorice oak. Great length. Wine of noble origin, not quite well adjusted by the winemaker or from an average vintage. Nose too curious to be rated very highly! A nice surprise at the table, but the score remains difficult to assign because of the nose! Nevertheless, the consumer should know that, placed between 1989 and 1990, this wine did not disappoint! A good deal.

Started big. Cassis, light tobacco, fall leaves, bursting at the front of the nose (vs. deeper in). Nose then shied away, turned to a bit of mushroom and then red licorice, followed by some minty anise and pepperoni. two hours in bottle, and boom, the nose is back but deeper this time and gives you that immediate eyebrow raising reaction. Couldn't quite get there again though. more pure red fruit coming through a bit. Stays classy if not the most overt example of a vintage. Plenty happy with the result and would say is in a good drinking window. Seems like storage conditions are paramount

Intense ruby ??garnet, amazing depth of color, orange reflections, delicate watery edge. On the nose, cassis and blackberry jelly, a hint of cedarwood and sour cherry, delicate raisins, a very inviting, well-developed bouquet. Relatively juicy on the palate, with hints of dark berry fruit, a fresh structure, a firm tannin core, and a long finish. A very pleasant surprise from the standard bottle, with undeniable potential for improvement.

A real achievement for the vintage, boasting plenty of fruit, tobacco and dark chocolate character. Full-bodied and velvety; impressive richness of ripe tannins.
