Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2014 Pauillac Bordeaux 750ml/Btl 6/case

Description

Neal Martin: The Chateau Lafite-Rothschild 2014 is a blend of 87%Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc, picked from22 September until 10 October with the Petit Verdot, the Cabernetfinished two days earlier. The Grand Vin is adorned with surprisingrichness and opulence on the nose: layers of ripe black plum andjuniper, fine definition with even a hint of fig developing withcontinued aeration. After 5 minutes it turns volte face and becomesmuch more graphite and cedary – more Pauillac in essence. Thepalate is medium-bodied with ripe tannin, a potent core of blackand blue fruit with a bullish (for Lafite) peacock's tail on thefinish. Very long in the mouth, this is a Lafite that yearns tocompensate for last year and it accomplishes that with some panache.
