Description
Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac, one of only five Frist Growths in Bordeaux and one of the top wines in the world, needs little introduction . The excellent 1989 vintage presents a complex flavor profile featuring notes of blackcurrant, cedar, and hints of tobacco, complemented by well-integrated tannins and a long, refined finish. With age, the wine becomes more cohesive and even more complex.
It pairs well with red meats, game, and aged cheeses and is ideal for special dinners or a gift for the most discerning wine collector.

Expert Reviews
Beautiful, rich and still extremely young, this is Lafite at its gulpable, elegant, sculpted, age-defying best. Deeply-spiced cassis notes are joined by touches of cedar - the result of a dry year that saw one of the earliest harvests since 1898. The grapes were picked with high alcohol and ripe tannins and they have absolutely lasted, and will continue to do so. The tannins are cradling the fruit, barely perceptible and yet still fully in control. (Jane Anson for Decanter) Review Date: 05/2018
