Wine Spectator über: Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1er Cru

-- Wine Spectator: A luscious Lafite that is silky and elegant with layers of wonderful violet, berry, cherry and chocolate flavors. It's full-bodied, with racy, refined tannins and good length. Drinkable now, but best from 1999 and through another decade. 18,750 cases made. 93/100

Parker über: Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1er Cru

-- Parker: Because Lafite-Rothschild (1) tends to lack the weight of many wines of the northern Medoc, and (2) is never a flashy, ostentatious style of wine, it is often more difficult to evaluate when young than some of its neighbors. Made from nearly 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, this dark ruby/purple-colored wine is stubbornly backward, unappealing, and severe and astringent on the palate. There is plenty of weight, and the wine possesses admirable purity, with no suggestion of herbaceousness or underripe fruit, but the wine's personality refuses to be coaxed from the glass. The 1994 Lafite may turn out to be austere and disappointing flavor-wise, but possesses a fabulous set of aromatics (does that sound reminiscent of the 1961, another Lafite that was primarily Cabernet Sauvignon?). I am not giving up on this wine, but purchasers should be willing to wait 15-20 years before pulling a cork. 90/100

Falstaff über: Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1er Cru

-- Falstaff: Kräftiges Rubingranat, erstaunliche Farbtiefe, orangefarbene Reflexe, zarter Wasserrand. In der Nase feine Herzkirschen, etwas Zwetschken, nach feuchtem Unterholz, etwas Zedernholz, Bleistift, etwas Velours. Am Gaumen mittlere Textur, gut gereifte Tannine, frische Säurestruktur, feine Noten von gereiften Zwetschken und etwas Heidelbeeren im Nachhall, ein balancierter, eher leichtfüßiger Speisenbegleiter mit mittlerer Länge, bereits gut antrinkbar. 90/100

Galloni über: Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1er Cru

-- Galloni: The 1994 Lafite-Rothschild is served from a large format whisked straight from the château. Perhaps that goes some way to explain the impressive showing. Very youthful in hue, it has a captivating bouquet with black fruit infused with cedar and melted tar, kind of old school but in a positive way. The palate is medium-bodied and surprisingly muscular for a Lafite, with plenty of black fruit interwoven with graphite and a succulent finish. I've had this from bottle a few times, but this format is certainly better. Tasted from an ex-château double magnum at the Académie du Vin dinner in Bordeaux.

Lafite Rothschild

Bereits im Jahre 1234 als Weinproduzent erwähnt, kann Château Lafite Rothschild aus Pauillac auf eine lange Erfolgsgeschichte zurückblicken. Schon Thomas Jefferson, der dritte Präsident der Vereinigten Staaten, wusste den Wein zu schätzen und so war es nicht verwunderlich, als Château Lafite...
