Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2008 Pauillac AOC Premier Grand Cru Classé
The palate expresses the classicism of Pauillac with a solid and coherent structure. The tannins, more coated than in the solar vintages, offer great elegance. The finish, tasty and persistent, reveals a harmonious and irresistible wine.
Critic tasting note: (2008 vintage) Elegant, refined, pure, focused, vibrant, fresh and classic in its nature, it is easy to discern the cedar, tobacco leaf, lead pencil cassis and blackberry nuances, with just a little effort. On the palate, the wine offers refinement and purity, with a silky, yet energetic, bright edge. Give this 12-15 more years to develop. The wine was made from blending 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc. - 97/100, Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
