Chateau Lafite Rothschild AOC 1-er Grand Cru 2003
Robert Parker
The 2003 Lafite Rothschild comes as close to perfection as any of the great Lafites made over the past three decades (1982, 1986, 1996, 2000, 2005, 2008, 2009 and 2010). This sensational effort came in at 12.7% natural alcohol, it is made in the style of one of this estate’s great classics, the 1959. Composed of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, it exhibits a dense ruby/purple color to the rim along with a luxurious bouquet of cedarwood, lead pencil shaving, white chocolate, cocoa and cassis. Fat, rich, opulent and full-bodied with low acidity and stunning seductiveness and complexity, this noble wine possesses a bountiful, generous, heady style. It is just coming into its plateau of maturity where it should hold for 20-25 years. This is one of the candidates for the wine of the vintage – make no mistake about that.
James Suckling
Spicy and rich, with a tobacco and berry character on the nose and palate I love the nose. Full bodied, with soft velvety tannins that give you so much. This goes on and on. Sexy and exciting right now, but leave this for five or six years. Find the wine
Description
Compatibility
The wine will perfectly complement red meat and game dishes, be it beef medallions, venison with berry sauce or lamb in herbs. Foie gras, smoked meats, stuffed poultry, Parma ham and mature blue cheeses are also good gastronomic pairings.
Color
The wine has a rich ruby-violet color.
Scent
The rich aroma reveals classic notes of graphite, which are intertwined with tones of licorice, black currant liqueur, smoke and flowers.
Taste
The excellent 2003 wine has a rich, powerful flavor with very high tannins and remarkable length. The surprisingly soft and sweet taste captivates with juicy fruity tones of ripe cherries, plums and red currants, to which are added spicy notes of coffee, tobacco and dark chocolate, as well as fresh hints of cedar and minerals.
