CHATEAU LAFITE ROTHSCHILD 2010│750ML

DESCRIPTION

The 2010 Lafite Rothschild, a blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon and 13% Merlot. The wine is very impressive, not as fleshy, flamboyant and massive as the 2009, but nevertheless, a big, rich, full-throttle Lafite-Rothschild meant to age a half century or more. The wine is full-bodied yet has that ethereal lightness that makes it a Lafite. Rich, with good acidity, precision and freshness, this is a slightly zestier version of the 2009 as well as more restrained and structured than that particular vintage.

TASTING NOTES
