Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2008 Pauillac Bordeaux 750ml/Btl 12/case

Description

Robert Parker: A candidate for the -wine of the vintage,- the 2008should have been purchased before it began to soar in value becauseof the significance of the number 8 in the Chinese culture(denoting good luck). Representing 40% of the production, thisblend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Francoffers aromas of high quality unsmoked cigar tobacco, lead pencilshavings, creme de cassis, earth, cedar and asphalt. Full, rich andstunningly concentrated, I doubt it is inferior to the 2010, justmore classic as well as slightly more forward and a degree weakerin alcoholic potency (12.5% versus 13.5%). The 2008 should berelatively drinkable in 6-10 years as it is already showingremarkable complexity and breed, and will last for 30-35 years…atthe minimum.
