Details

The 2018 Chateau Lafite Rothschild exhibits a dark hue with vibrant purple highlights, giving it a lively and bright appearance. Although still quite closed, the aroma suggests impressive depth, featuring notes of black and red fruit as well as cedar that are characteristic of Lafite's signature wines. On the palate, the wine's remarkable attack is the outcome of an exceptional blend that maintains its power and harmony throughout. The wine finishes with a fresh and long-lasting impression on the palate. Despite an unusual year, the wine remains well-balanced, and elegant, and exhibits remarkable potential. Wine enthusiasts can expect a masterpiece in the making, and it will undoubtedly be worth the wait.


Robert Parker - 100 Points

"The 2018 Lafite Rothschild is blended of 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8.5% Merlot and 0.5% Petit Verdot and has 13.3% alcohol. Deep purple-black in color, it needs a fair bit of swirling to unlock intoxicating scents of blackcurrant cordial, baked plums and black cherry compote with an undercurrent of dark chocolate, licorice, cast-iron pan, cedar chest and fertile loam, plus a waft of pencil lead. The delicately crafted, medium-bodied palate is dripping with class, featuring layers of mineral-laced black fruits and exquisitely ripe, singularly Lafite tannins, finishing with epic length and depth. This simply stunning, delicately crafted expression of 2018 with its singularly evocative imprint of Lafite will require a good 7-8 years in bottle, then should continue to inspire awe over the following 40+ years."


Antonio Galloni - 98 Points

"The 2018 Lafite-Rothschild is a stunning wine. Silky and floral, the 2018 offers all the signatures of the Grand Vin, but amplified by the radiance of the year. In the glass, Lafite is rich and exotic, yet it also retains tremendous vibrancy. The interplay of Merlot picked early and Cabernet Sauvignon harvested late makes for wine of extraordinary dimension, complexity and class. Graphite, dark red fruit, spice and leather linger on the huge finish. Magnificent!"
