2003 & 2008 Chateau Lafite Rothschild - Bordeaux, Pauillac 1er Grand Cru Classé - 2 Bottles (0.75L)

Lafite Rothschild 2003 Weinwisser: 20/20 Parker: 100/100 Wine Cellar Insider: 100/100 Lafite Rothschild 2008 Scor 98 Wine Advocate Review Date: 05/2011 A candidate for the -wine of the vintage,- the 2008 should have been purchased before it began to soar in value because of the significance of the number 8 in the Chinese culture (denoting good luck). Representing 40% of the production, this blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc offers aromas of high quality unsmoked cigar tobacco, lead pencil shavings, creme de cassis, earth, cedar and asphalt. Full, rich and stunningly concentrated, I doubt it is inferior to the 2010, just more classic as well as slightly more forward and a degree weaker in alcoholic potency (12.5% versus 13.5%). (RP)
