CHÂTEAU LAFITE ROTHSCHILD 2005 (1 3 LTR., OWC) WS 98 WA 96
Lot 72 Details
CHÂTEAU LAFITE ROTHSCHILD 2005 (OWC)

Pauillac. 1er Cru Classé

The palate is medium-bodied and beautifully balanced, to wit, a sophisticated Pauillac that priorities elegance and poise over intensity of fruit—in keeping with Lafite Rothschild's style. You come away with the sense that it will take its time and decline, giving away a great deal in its primacy, even if it is still more approachable than the 2005 Latour for example. Therefore, I would be inclined to set this aside for several more years. Tasted November 2014. WS 98 WA 96

1 3 ltr.    per lot $4,000 - $4,500

Realised: $4,140
Price Includes Buyer's Premium ?
