Aromas of blackcurrant, cassis, cedar, graphite, violet, cigar box, and fine spice unfold into a seamless palate with silky tannins, exceptional depth, and a remarkably persistent finish.
Food Pairing: Pair with beef Wellington, roast lamb, venison, duck breast, truffle dishes, or aged Comte for an unforgettable First Growth Bordeaux experience.
96 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Tasted at The Sampler's icon tasting in London, the 2001 Château Lafite Rothschild has a quintessential Lafite bouquet: very pure, almost understated at first. It gradually opens with briary notes, blackberry leaf, cedar and freshly rolled tobacco, with subtle floral nuances emerging after three or four minutes in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and shows more vitality than the 1985 served alongside. Slightly grainy tannins frame flavors of dark plum, blackberry, citrus fruit and a touch of dried apricot, leading to a very precise finish. Superb. Tasted December 2011.
96 Points - Wine Spectator
Stick your nose in this and it says something: "I am special." Deep and generous aromas of blackberries, fresh tobacco and minerals. Full-bodied, with big, velvety tannins and a super-long finish. Like a fine cashmere sweater. Best after 2010. 22,000 cases made.
