Lot 119 Details
CHÂTEAU LAFITE ROTHSCHILD 2014

Pauillac. 1er Cru Classé

There are layers of blackberry and boysenberry fruit, still that hint of juniper berry, certainly a more extrovert Lafite-Rothschild compared to recent vintages. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannin, very focused and quite linear, again with plenty of black fruit laced with cedar and tobacco. It begins to clam up towards the saline finish, suggesting that it will need several years in bottle, but I still have high expectations for this First Growth once afforded several years in bottle. March 2017 Drink: 2024-2045 WA 95

2 bts.    per lot $1,300 - $1,500
