One of the world`s greatest wines from one of the finest Bordeaux vintages of the last thirty years. Wild black fruit, cassis & cedar combine on the nose & palate along with a fresh acidity which leads into a near endless finish.
The 2010 Lafite-Rothschild has a vivacious bouquet with feisty red berry fruit laced with kirsch, blueberry and subtle blood orange aromas that soar from the glass. There is no ignoring these aromatics. The palate has a soft, fleshy entry that caresses the senses, quite plush and more like a 2009 in style. Layers of red and black fruit vie for attention, leading to a sensual rounded finish. Excellent, but I just would have preferred more grip and backbone.
