2008 Château Lafite Rothschild, Pauillac, Bordeaux
Red • Dry • Full Bodied • Cabernet Sauvignon (83%), Merlot (13%), Cabernet Franc (4%)
Ready - youthful
Description
Extremely Cabernet dominant, with savoury black fruit and a ton of Pauillac character. A fairly reserved, finely-boned Lafite, with menthol and tobacco leaf. Subdued right now but in it for the long haul. The vintage with the Chinese symbol for eight engraved on the bottle, to commemorate the planting of the Long Dai vineyard in China - a fact that made the price of this bottle shoot up when it was released. Harvest October 1 to 14. 40% of overall production.
