Overview

Lafite Rothschild 2009

Wine Advocate

The Lafite-Rothschild 2009 is a dark, limpid purple colour. The nose is very closed and so I jabber with Charles Chevalier for ten minutes before returning and…well, not much more…but one can sense the intensity that bubbling under like a smoking volcano: blackberry, vitamin, graphite and a touch of black olive. The palate is medium-bodied but with bold tannins, perhaps unusually expressing more weight than Latour at this juncture although that could change. It has beguiling intensity and focus with great length and persistency, leading to a masculine, grippy finish that says: bugger off and don’t come back for 10-15 years…or else. Exceptionally fine. Tasted November 2011. (NM 1/2012))
