2010 Lafite Rothschild and family

Random cases of Lafite, just like home (or not :))

My last visit during primeur, but definitely not the least!

2010 Château Lafite Rothschild;

Deep ruby, floral, cassis, complex and refines, very difficult to analyze, that feeling of some real greatness just teasing you out there in the back. Beautiful texture, elegant and ripe tannins, pure, long, for the long haul, will need thirty years in the cellar to start to show it's full potential. 96-99, probably a legend in the making.

2010 Carruades de Lafite;

(2nd label) Deep ruby, fruity, floral, complex and refined, fresh acidity, ripe tannins, beautiful texture, very long length. Even this one will need fifteen-twenty years to really shine. 92-93
