Blend | Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac 1er Grand Cru 2006

One of the fabulous surprises, it may turn out
to be as good as the 2005, which in all of Bordeaux is a far
greater vintage than 2006. Lafite’s severe selection process
(42% made it into the grand vin) resulted in a full-bodied wine
boasting an extraordinary perfume of charcoal, truffles, lead
pencil shavings, and sensationally sweet, ripe black currant and
cedar notes. A wine of extraordinary intensity, texture, and
depth with silky tannins as well as awesome concentration, this
has turned out to be a remarkable Lafite Rothschild that should
be drinkable much earlier than the 2005, but age for three
decades.
