2003 Ch. Lafite Rothschild, Pauillac

Ch. Lafite Rothschild, Pauillac
"A modern day version of the 1959 Lafite...it represents a ripe version of the essence of Lafite-Rothschild. Dense purple-colored, with classic notes of graphite intertwined with melted licorice, creme de cassis, smoke, and flowers, it reveals extraordinary richness, opulence, power, purity, intensity, and viscosity. Whether this wine will close down or not is questionable as it is somewhat atypical given its sweetness and softness. Analytically, there are extremely high tannins, which I suspect will assert themselves in the future. Production in 2003 was less than half of normal. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2050."
(Robert Parker - Wine Advocate - Apr-2006)
