Wine Advocate note This beautiful, stunningly dense purple-colored effort (includes about 90% Cabernet Sauvignon) offers up precise notes of graphite, black cherries, cassis, scorched earth, and minerals. Medium to full-bodied with fabulous fruit, impressive richness, refreshing acidity, and sweet tannin, this beauty should be approachable in 4-5 years, and last for three decades. As Lafite Rothschilds go, this is somewhat of a sleeper vintage.

A grape which has become immensely popular around the world in the last 20 years, initially as a purveyor of the flavours of claret in a fleshy, accessible and inexpensive form. Subsequently it has developed a following as a varietal in its own right and often finds itself the recipient of lavish winemaker attention. Most celebrated as the principal 'Right Bank' grape, underpinning most Pomerols and Saint Emilions with its sweet plum and currant fruit and fleshy, soft textures. These qualities have...

From the rare 1956 vintage. One for the collectors.

Premiere Grand Cru Classe Chateau Lafite from the 1972 vintage this is a wine any collector or enthusiast would appreciate in their cellar.

"A bit chewy but shows an impressive intensity of spice, sweet tobacco, and currant character. Full, dense and structured. Muscular for the vintage for Lafite. Tobacco box aftertaste. Some wet earth too." 94-95 points - James Suckling, April 2012 "Still tightly wound and very restrained, but there's a serious well of black plum and macerated currant fruit in reserve, held behind substantial but well-ripened tannins and a strong chalk and iron note. There's a nice austerity to the very driven mineral...

Fine growing conditions and an Indian summer produced wines of grace, balance and harmony, though without great stuffing. Left and Right Bank are equally attractive. Most need drinking up although, with their impeccable balance, the very top levels will live on.

Description and Reviews: 93 Points (Parker) 94 Points (Wine Journal) Reviews "The 1976 Lafite clearly stands far above the crowd in this vintage. A beautiful bouquet of seductive cedarwood, spices, and ripe fruit precedes a very concentrated, darkly colored wine, with great length and texture. Some amber is just beginning to appear at the edge. The 1976 has turned out to be the best Lafite of the '70s. It is gorgeous to drink at present. Last tasted, 9/96." Parker Bordeaux 3rd edition "A sublime...

"This has a deep ripe plumy nose with good definition and freshness: cedar and blackberry, a tangible sense of mineralite but tightly-coiled. A dense weighty palate, great concentration and vibrant acidity, very focused, lithe, wonderful definition with a lifted cedar finish. No frills, but masterful winemaking is afoot here." eRobertParker.com

Wine Advocate note One of the fabulous surprises, although I had suggested last year that it could jump in quality, of my tastings, the 2006 Lafite Rothschild is a great, great wine made from a blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot, and 2% Petit Verdot. When I tasted it from barrel, it reminded me of their successful 1988, but it is dramatically superior to that vintage. Frankly, it may turn out to be as good as the 2005, which in all of Bordeaux is a far greater vintage than 2006. Lafite’s...

Description and Reviews: 93 points - Wine Journal "There are scents of decayed red-berried fruits with cedar and a touch of hot bricks and together they make a compelling bouquet. Certainly this has impressive definition and clarity. The palate is medium-bodied with a fleshy entry, well-judged acidity and very natural in style. Elegant and feminine with supple, red-berried fruits, cranberry and a touch of bitter chocolate towards the finish. This has matured very well and is a beautiful, classic...

"The classically styled 2012 exhibits attractive elegance, medium body and outstanding concentration, but not the complexity and depth or prodigious qualities of many other recent Lafites. It is a relatively soft, spicy effort displaying notes of crushed rocks, white chocolate, black currants and graphite. It should be drinkable in 5-8 years and last for two decades" 92-95 Points, Robert Parker

One of the five first growths of Bordeaux, and probably the most famous of them all. Located right at the northern limit of Pauillac, Cabernet Sauvignon dominates the blend with the soil made up of fine deep gravel, mixed with aeolian sand on a subsoil of tertiary limestone. It is well-drained and well-exposed to the sun. The finesse and elegance at Lafite is undeniable.

The robe is deep ruby colour, the nose is intense and fine with black fruits (blackberries, violet). The wine is rich, pure and well-balanced. Tannins are exceptionnal and round. Composition: 84% Cabernet-Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot

Description of this Pauillac Château Lafite needs no introduction – after all its praises have been sung so often and for so long we can scarcely do it justice.

Chateau Haut Brion, Chateau Lafite Rothschild, Chateau Latour, Chateau Margaux, and Chateau Mouton Rothschild: five names that changed the world of French wine. For the first time, this book brings their separate stories together into one sweeping saga; from their early days as estates owned by some of France's most powerful families, to the dramas of the French Revolution, the 1855 Paris Exhibition where four were crowned as First Growths and the determined efforts that saw Mouton Rothschild join...

Ref: 6725 From the famous Chateau Talbot vineyards, this wonderful red wine from the very good 1986 vintage scores 96/100 Parker points and "It's my gut feeling that the 1986 is, along with the '82, the finest Talbot made at this estate since the legendary '45. The fact that there are 40,000 cases of this wine is good news for the consumer, as there will be plenty to go around. The wine, which has been so special since the first taste from cask, is classically structured, with a penetrating fragrance...

Grape Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot Description "The finest Duhart-Milon ever made? This structured, tannic, dense ruby/purple-tinged Pauillac offers up hints of cassis, licorice, chocolate, and earth. Medium to full-bodied with good purity, strong tannins, and undeniable elegance, it reveals a character not dissimilar from its renowned sibling, Lafite-Rothschild. A blend of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon and 29% Merlot, it is unquestionably outstanding, but to my taste, slightly less opulent than the estate...

History Château Mouton Rothschild is the only estate to achieve promotion under the Official 1855 Classification of Médoc and Graves. Two years prior to the classification, Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild bought the property – then known as Château Brane-Mouton – in what was a relatively neglected state and immediately renamed it (to incorporate the family name) and started to recondition the vineyards and facilities. Despite the wines selling for prices as high as those of Château Lafite and Château...

Description and Reviews: Reviews "All of the Lafite domains were successful in 1981. Quite backward in development, this deep ruby colored wine has an attractive bouquet that suggests crushed black currants, fresh leather, and new oak. Relatively big, quite tannic, concentrated, astringent, and dry in the finish" Robert Parker, Wine Advocate. 1998

Description and Reviews: *** 89 Points Wine Journal *** Reviews. "Slight aging on rim. A rich nose of minerals and blackcurrant. Medium-bodied with classic Mouton style. This has more fleshy fruit than other Firsts: quite rounded blackberry and tar. Very Cabernet dominated with a little more expression that Lafite 1988. A classic claret in every sense." Neil Martin

Description and Reviews: "Lifted blackberry, autumn leaf, cedar and a touch of fresh tobacco, the mintiness enhanced by continued aeration. The palate is very tight and slightly pinched at the moment, the tannins a little harder and less fine than Lafite, the finish slightly chalky and foursquare in texture. Personally, I prefer the 2002 to the previous year, but it is still a decent, mid-weight Pauillac that would show better with cuisine. Drink 2013-2025. Tasted November 2010." Neil Martin Wine...

“A consistently fine Mouton that here, out-classes its rival Lafite (and to think, this was still a Deuxieme Cru!) The nose has evolved great complexity with aromas of cedar, wild mint, pencil box that build nicely in the glass and returning later it has conjured up a lovely coffee bean scent. The palate is medium-bodied, very well balanced yet foursquare with notes of cedar, dried herbs, leather and a hint of damson here. Silky smooth texture towards the finish and great persistency for the vintage...
