Label of Chateau Lafite Rothschild

Chateau Lafite Rothschild

Pauillac, France
    • Avg Price (ex-tax)
    • $ 904 / 750ml
    • Critics have scored this as one of the top 5 Pauillac wines: James Suckling gave the 2024 vintage a score of 96.

      Expert tasting note: "A deep, dark, purple-ruby color is not opaque. Restrained aromas are of pure cassis, graphite & spicy oak. On the palate rich, well-defined cassis fruit is given a little warmth & weight by the alcohol. Cedary sweet-spices overlay the fruit. The wine is medium to full bodied with fresh acidity & toasty oak hints. Mocha & new cedary oak tannins overlay rich licorice fruit on a long finish. A classic Lafite, that ends with redcurrant, mocha & spice notes." - 04/25 ep DCAMW

Chateau Lafite Rothschild, Pauillac, France

Excellent
1985 Vintage Saved: 18-May-2025
The wine is a deep, dark ruby-red and keeps its color well to the rim. Cassis & graphite notes are overlaid by hints of truffle. The palate is smooth with a very fine tannic grip. The trusture is silky. Alcohol & acidity are both well in balance, The wine finishes with incredibly pure blackcurrant fruit. The wine is so pure, so juicy and so rich. 04/25 6ltr Imp DCAMW
Very Good
2024 Vintage Saved: 22-Apr-2025
A deep, dark, purple-ruby color is not opaque. Restrained aromas are of pure cassis, graphite & spicy oak. On the palate rich, well-defined cassis fruit is given a little warmth & weight by the alcohol. Cedary sweet-spices overlay the fruit. The wine is medium to full bodied with fresh acidity & toasty oak hints. Mocha & new cedary oak tannins overlay rich licorice fruit on a long finish. A classic Lafite, that ends with redcurrant, mocha & spice notes. 04/25 ep DCAMW
Excellent

Excellent
2023 Vintage Saved: 29-Apr-2024
Deep, dark, black red color. Restrained dark cherry fruit is overlaid with hints of leather & chocolate. Concentrated cassis and black-cherry fruit on the palate is lifted by lively acidity. The mid-palate shows elegant fine tannins & seamlessly integrated oak. There are notes of graphite & licorice on the mid-palate. Alcohol is balanced & the long finish opens to show black-cherry, dark red-cherry, blackcurrant and chocolate notes. 04/24 (ep) DCAMW
Very Good
2002 Vintage Saved: 19-Feb-2024
The medium to deep ruby-red color is not quite opaque. The nose shows a little clean cassis perfume over precise toasty oak. On the palate lovely freshness allows vivid cassis hints to show ahead of a classic cedary mid-palate that is dominated by the wine's fine tannic structure. Alcohol is balanced & the finish endures well. The fruit on the finish is closed & unsupple. 11/06 DCAMW
Excellent
2012 Vintage Saved: 4-Nov-2023
Medium to deep ruby. Aromas are of dust & pencil-shavings over bright red-fruit & vanilla. There is lovely freshness. Mid-weight with plenty of fine, silky, tannins. The palate seamlessly combines red currant, cedar, vanilla & cocoa. Alcohol is balanced and the finish delicious and long. 11/16 DCAMW

Excellent
2019 Vintage Saved: 1-Nov-2023
Deep, dark, not quite opaque, ruby red in color. The aromas are quite tight and closed. The palate starts with a concentrated, indistinct dark fruit, from behind which a lovely clean, fresh cassis bursts forth. The wine is of mid-weight with a fine, elegant structure, lovely freshness & warming alcohol. The oak tannins are fine & well-integrated. The long finish comprises fresh, leafy cassis fruit & well-married sweet spices. 10/23 DCAMW
Excellent

Virtually Opaque red-purple color holds well to a purple rim. Delicate aromas of leafy cassis fruit are overlaid by graphite, clean cedary oak & jammy blackcurrant aroma. The palate seamlessly combines crunchy & leafy blackcurrant with a concentrated core of fine tannins and an array of oak-derived sweet-spices. Alcohol appears balanced. Fruit on the finish is dense & cassisy with elegantly handled cedary oak spices. A wine for long ageing. 04/23 DCAMW
Very Good
1994 Vintage Saved: 27-Feb-2023
The wine is a dark, well-pigmented ruby-red in color. Cedar, coffee, tobacco & earthy notes overlay cassis fruit on the nose. The palate is very nicely together, with plentiful coffee notes overlaying black-cherry fruit Balanced acidity & slightly warming alcohol combine to give a firm, well-structured mid-palate. The finish lasts well. 11/98 DCAMW
