Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1er Cru 2019

/100

13,5 procent alkohol i volumen. Cuvéen består af 94 procent Cabernet Sauvignon, fem procent Merlot og en procent Petit Verdot. Næsten sort, krydret og gennemtrængende næse. Høj intensitet. Masser af cassis, brombær, lidt ribs nedenunder. Men den går helt klart i retning af sort frugt. Også lidt sorte kirsebær. Fint tryk, delikat. Salt på siden, citrongræs. Endnu mere delikat i munden end i næsen. Og stadig med et stort tryk, masser af sorte kirsebær, med lidt cassis og brombær på siden. Stor syre, slåen, moreller, ribs og igen lidt hindbær. Viser stor mineralitet. En typisk Lafite, fordi den er så utrolig fin og legende. Ikke desto mindre dette pres i centrum. Stor friskhed med høj modenhed. Stor vin, stor Lafite-årgang. Fremragende! 100/100

Suckling om: Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1er Cru

So much sweet tobacco, Spanish cedar, dried flowers, dark mushrooms and roses. Really aromatic. This is so polished and very powerful, yet ethereal and refined at the same time. The finish goes on for minutes. Tight and harmonious. You want to drink it! So balanced, yet it will age beautifully. It will be this good forever. 94% cabernet sauvignon, 5% merlot and 1% petit verdot. Better after 2031. 100/100

Parker om: Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1er Cru

One of the greatest wines produced in Bordeaux this year is the 2019 Lafite Rothschild, an impeccably balanced classic of immense charm and grace. Wafting from the glass with arresting aromas of cassis, blackberries and cherries mingled with violets, cigar box and warm spices, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and seamless, its velvety attack segueing into a layered, concentrated mid-palate framed by exquisitely powdery tannins and ripe acids, and concluding with a long, perfumed finish. This rivals the 2010 and 2016 as the greatest Lafite of the decade, and of those three vintages, it's clearly the most sensual and demonstrative out of the gates. The blend contains fully 94% Cabernet Sauvignon and attained a modest 13.4% alcohol. 100/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1er Cru

A truly great Lafite, and maybe the wine of the vintage, the 2019 Château Lafite-Rothschild reveals a deep purple color as well as an ultra-classic bouquet of crème de cassis, lead pencil, unsmoked tobacco, chocolate, and gravelly minerality. Deep, full-bodied, and flawlessly balanced, it's a magical, heavenly bottle of wine that's going to be approachable with just 5-6 years of bottle age yet evolve for 100 years or more. It reminds me of the 2016, only with a touch more sexiness and opulence. 98-100

Wine Cellar Insider om: Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1er Cru

This is a beautiful example of what Chateau Lafite Rothschild does best. Dark garnet in color and aromatic, you find lead pencil, cedar, forest, tobacco wrapper, mint and black with red fruit scents. The most elegant of all the First Growths, the wine, classic in nature, is refined, pure, bright, focused, precise and long. There is an intensity that expands as the wine graces your palate, before moving to the finish that is all about the extraordinary purity in the fruits. The wine blends 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot. The Merlot was harvested September 19-September 25. Cabernet Sauvignon was picked September 22-October 7. The wine reached 13.4% alcohol with pH of 3.9. The Grand Vin was produced from only 40% of the harvest with yields of 38 hectoliters per hectare. 98-100/100

Decanter om: Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1er Cru

An opulent and fruit-forward vintage for Lafite in 2019. Vivid purple colour in the glass with blackcurrant, cherry and milk chocolate notes. Gorgeous weight on the palate with such fine tannins and depth of flavour - not so much rich but driven, refined, elegant, almost refrained. Feels compact at first, settling to reveal layers of vibrant spiced fruit and and cooling menthol hints alongside clear graphite and wet stone that comes through clearly. Supremely balanced with an underlying mouth filling juiciness that offers finessed creamy fruit. Structured and well framed with a long life ahead. Drinking window: 2028 - 2050. 98/100

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...
