Cellar Tracker September - 2016

Bottle in excellent condition with bottom neck fill and top of cork still dry. Ruby turning mahogany towards the rim. Clean on the palatw with fragrant sweet red fruit, leather and tobacco. High acidity. No tannins. Decent finish. This is obviously not going anywhere but it's a pleasure to drink and I think good bottles could stay at this level for another decade. Not at the level of 72 Latour but better than both the Mouton and Haut Brion I have had. Still need to try Margaux, Cheval Blanc and La Mission from this dismal vintage

Meaty, plummy herbal flavors are fimr and well balanced between fruit and aged character. Bell pepper and olive stand out.

Château Lafite Rothschild

Château Lafite Rothschild is one of the oldest and most prestigious estates in the Pauillac appellation, on the Left Bank of Bordeaux. Its origins date back to the Middle Ages, but it was in the 18th century that the château acquired international renown, particularly among European courts. In the 1855 classification, Château Lafite Rothschild was ranked Premier Grand Cru Classé, permanently establishing its status at the top of the Bordeaux hierarchy.

Owned by the Rothschild family since 1868, the estate rests on a terroir of fine, deep gravel, perfectly suited to Cabernet Sauvignon. The wines of Château Lafite Rothschild are distinguished by their finesse, aromatic precision and balance, favoring elegance and length over demonstrative power.

Emblematic vintages such as Château Lafite Rothschild 1945, Château Lafite Rothschild 1982, Château Lafite Rothschild 1986, Château Lafite Rothschild 1990, Château Lafite Rothschild 1996, Château Lafite Rothschild 2000 or Château Lafite Rothschild 2005 illustrate the estate's stylistic consistency and its ability to express the identity of Pauillac with clarity. Château Lafite Rothschild remains an essential reference for understanding the classical excellence of great Bordeaux wines.
