Country: France / Barrel sample
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Bordeaux
Winery: Château Lafite Rothschild / Pauillac
96-98 Barrel sample. Very dense, a muscular wine, very concentrated. It has a superb texture of velvet, while still keeping an abundance of dry tannins. There is power here, solid and dense structure, but there are also bright fruits. Vivid, concentrated.
