100 Points, Robert Parker Wine Advocate"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. This rivals the 2010 and 2016 as the greatest Lafite of the decade, and of those three vintages, it's clearly the most sensual and demonstrative out of the gates." - Apr 2022
100 Points, James Suckling "So much sweet tobacco, Spanish cedar, dried flowers, dark mushrooms and roses. Really aromatic. This is so polished and very powerful, yet ethereal and refined at the same time. The finish goes on for minutes. Tight and harmonious. You want to drink it! So balanced, yet it will age beautifully. It will be this good forever. 94% cabernet sauvignon, 5% merlot and 1% petit verdot." - Jan 2022
Description
The 2019 vintage of Lafite Rothschild from Pauillac, Bordeaux, France is a truly exceptional wine. The deep ruby hue of this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc immediately catches the eye, hinting at the richness and complexity that awaits. On the nose, enticing aromas of black cherry, cassis, and dark chocolate mingle with subtle notes of dried herbs and cedar. The palate is equally impressive, with layers of ripe blackberry, plum, and currant flavors supported by well-integrated tannins and a touch of oak. As the wine lingers on the palate, nuances of graphite and tobacco emerge, adding depth and elegance. This is a wine of remarkable balance and finesse, with a long and satisfying finish that leaves a lasting impression. Château Lafite Rothschild has truly outdone themselves with this 2019 vintage, making it a must-try for any serious wine enthusiast.

ABOUT THIS BRAND
Chateau Lafite Rothschild
Lafite Rothschild, The Nature of the Wise Château Lafite Rothschild is born of a rare harmony of nature which has continued to be created from vintage to vintage, for more than a thousand seasons... On its plateau of mythical gravel, the men and women who work in its vines are only intermediaries. And for 150 years, with the arrival of Baron James, members of the same family, embodied today by Saskia de Rothschild, have been taking turns to pass on a single message: that of precision and resilience in the face of the tremendous blows that the heavens rain down on its lands. In this eternal new beginning, in this inconstancy of nature which has a different fate in store for it each year, Lafite remains upright, sensitive and subtle. It has the nature of the wise, unchangeable like its ever lasting gravels. Born from an exceptional terroir, this legendary wine is often considered the epitome of Pauillac. Characterized by Cabernet Sauvignon, which imparts nobility to it, its aromas are unparalleled, and its tannic structure is subtle and refined.
