Chateau Lafite Rothschild AOC 1-er Grand Cru 2018
Robert Parker
The 2018 Lafite Rothschild is blended of 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8.5% Merlot and 0.5% Petit Verdot and has 13.3% alcohol. Deep purple-black in color, it needs a fair bit of swirling to unlock intoxicating scents of blackcurrant cordial, baked plums and black cherry compote with an undercurrent of dark chocolate, licorice, cast-iron pan, cedar chest and fertile loam, plus a waft of pencil lead. The delicately crafted, medium-bodied palate is dripping with class, featuring layers of mineral-laced black fruits and exquisitely ripe, singularly Lafite tannins, finishing with epic length and depth. This simply stunning, delicately crafted expression of 2018 with its singularly evocative imprint of Lafite will require a good 7-8 years in bottle, then should continue to inspire awe over the following 40+ years.
James Suckling
Wow. The aromas are so intense and refined at the same time, offering gorgeous blackcurrant, lead-pencil and orchid character. Such purity of fruit. Sleek and finely polished with a fine cut to the tannins that provide such grace and glamor. Yet, it’s got the power and structure to age for decades. On and on. Try after 2029.
Description
Compatibility
The wine will perfectly complement red meat and game dishes, be it beef medallions, venison with berry sauce or lamb in herbs. Smoked meats, stuffed poultry, Parma ham and mature blue cheeses are also good gastronomic pairings.
Color
The wine shows a dark purple, almost dark color.
Scent
At first the aroma of the wine is quite closed, but suggests amazing depth. Over time, it reveals heady notes of blackcurrant liqueur, baked plums and black cherry compote, complemented by hints of dark chocolate, licorice, cedar and rich loam.
Taste
The taste of the wine is impressively multi-layered, fresh, harmonious, elegant and delicate, with dominant notes of ripe cherries, ripe tannins, lively acidity and a long, rich finish with nuances of red berries and a slight salty tint.
