2013 Château Lafite Rothschild, Pauillac, Bordeaux

Description

98% Cabernet this vintage, which shows in an extremely pure, focused and streamlined nose. Blackcurrant and cassis jumps out, along with a red fruit and floral note, which is matched by a creamy spice from the oak. Very, very elegant. A core of darker fruit on the palate with a touch spice added by the super fine tannins. The freshness of acid works well with the lighter red fruit that come to the fore on the finish. Fine boned, poised and refined as always, this is like your mums porcelain china. More accessible than usual for Lafite but elegance class none the less.

Pauillac

The aristocrat of the Médoc boasts 75 percent of the region’s First Growths, with Grand Cru Classés representing 84 percent of production. Pauillac's First Growths each have their own unique characteristics: Ch. Lafite Rothschild produces the region’s most aromatically-complex and subtly-flavoured wine, while – with its high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon – Ch. Mouton Rothschild can produce a decadently rich, fleshy and exotic wine.
