Tasting notes
One of the greatest wines produced in Bordeaux this year is the 2019 Lafite Rothschild, an impeccably balanced classic of immense charm and grace. Wafting from the glass with arresting aromas of cassis, blackberries and cherries mingled with violets, cigar box and warm spices, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and seamless, its velvety attack segueing into a layered, concentrated mid-palate framed by exquisitely powdery tannins and ripe acids, and concluding with a long, perfumed finish.

About this wine
Deep garnet-purple in colour, the 2017 Lafite Rothschild (97% Cabernet Sauvignon) opens slowly with restrained notes of blackcurrant, mulberry and chocolate-covered cherries, alongside hints of earth, smoke and florals. Medium-bodied and elegant, the palate builds from a light, ethereal entry to layered red and black fruits with savoury complexity. Fine-grained tannins and vibrant freshness lead to a long, perfumed finish.
