Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1er Cru 2010

100
/100

Lobenberg: 87,2% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12,8% Merlot. Sort med en rødviolet kant, skinnende. Meget kraftig Cabernet-næse med cassis, ribs og kirsebær, men også med sort frugt. Et strejf af paprika, brombær, igen masser af cassis, ribs, pomerans, mørk chokolade, cedertræ, cubansk tobak. Et lille strejf af brombær, et strejf af gul frugt, mango. Meget velduftende, meget aromatisk. Ren Cabernet, der viser en enorm race. Uventet fin i munden. Masser af race også her, sort og rød frugt. Vinen stråler, har længde og er en fornøjelse at drikke. Langt fra de to foregående årgange, især 2009. I 2010 er det løb og finesse, der dominerer. Glycerin og alkohol dominerer ikke, selv om de er til stede i overflod. Alkoholindholdet er ret moderat med 13,5 %. Vinen starter som en sublim stor vin i munden og bliver finere og finere og slutter med stor længde og finesse. Modsat forventningerne til årgangen, meget finere, meget rigere på finesse end 2009, et stort fint år for Lafite, en Lafite i perfektion. 100/100

Parker om: Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1er Cru

Deep garnet in color, the 2010 Lafite Rothschild is a little mute on the nose at this stage, opening to reveal warm blackcurrants, baked plums and boysenberry scents with hints of chocolate mint, violets, cedar chest and pencil lead. Full-bodied, rich and densely packed with perfumed black fruit layers, it has a rock-solid backbone of fantastically ripe, grainy tannins and beautiful freshness, finishing very long and minerally. Still very youthful! 100/100

Decanter om: Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1er Cru

Inky colour, more so than in many years of Lafite, imprinted by the vintage. It is at this level, in these type of years, where you see why these terroirs have stood out for centuries. We are in a crowded field of excellence in Pauillac in 2010, and yet still the First Growths manage to deliver an extra heartbeat of brilliance. This is still extremely closed, and I have no hesitation in saying that when Lafite is planning its 250th anniversary celebrations that this will be one of the wines that it chooses, just as we all marvelled at the 1893 in the summer of 2018. Blocks of liquorice and black chocolate come through alongside the tannins, standing guard to ensure the fruits don't escape before they are ready to do so. There are vintages where Lafite is sculpted, liquid elegance (like 2017, speaking of one I have recently tasted), and where it stands out against the vintage, and then there are other years when it epitomises why the vintage is so good, and that is where we are here. It has less obvious muscles than the Latour but every bit of the strength. 100/100

Suckling om: Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1er Cru

Believe the hype. Lafite is perfect in 2010. The nose is amazing with sweet tobacco, dark chocolate and currants. It is amazing. It’s like gazing into the blue sky in wonder after tasting this young wine. Full and powerful with amazing minerals, currants and bitter chocolate. It starts off slowly and then finishes with a bang. This is really layered and wonderful. It goes on and on. Stunning. 100/100

Jane Anson om: Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1er Cru

Perfectly captures the Lafite mix of delivering concentration wrapped up with delicacy and slow-build construction, with the tannins showing a scraping, chalky minerality at first and then widening out through the mid palate to reveal a creamier edge. Cut herbs, liquorice, fennel, cassis, bilberry, loganberry, cigar box, incense. More closed than the 2009, as you would expect, but this is right up there with the greatest wines of the vintage, and one that you will be able to pick out of a cellar in 30 years time without the slightest worry. Brilliant. 100% new oak for ageing, from their own DBR Lafite cooperage. And once again, having this wine among the rest of the lineup during a comparative tasting is so instructive in terms of understanding the extra depths that you get from Lafite.

Lafite Rothschild

Château Lafite Rothschild fra Pauillac blev allerede nævnt som vinproducent i 1234 og kan se tilbage på en lang historie med succes. Selv Thomas Jefferson, USA's tredje præsident, satte pris på vinen, og derfor var det ikke overraskende, at Château Lafite Rothschild var en af de legendariske første...
