1995 Ch. Lafite Rothschild, Pauillac

Very difficult to assess when very young because of the huge tannic structure and sheer weight of matter on the palate. Very impressive but unyielding, not yet revealing the supreme finesse which is the hallmark of Lafite. Will fascinate for many years to come. The wine has evolved slowly over the past past four years and may not be ready until 2010 at least.
