Lafite Rothschild is a giant with 20 years of potential. Almost still too young in 1993 at our century wine tasting and shortly afterwards again at the tasting of a good wine friend, young colour, still strong, but not as astringent tannins as Latour, surprisingly much power for Lafite, very nice length - 98/100. 1995 at Landhaus Bacher from the Marie Jeanne Gran Vin! Deep, young colour, intense fruit sweetness, doesn't stop at all on the palate - 100/100. Outshone even the 59 Haut Brion at Hubi Scheidt on New Year's Eve 1995 - 100/100. 1996 an astonishingly mature bottle from less than optimal storage, very dense colour, recognisable brown hue, minty freshness, ripe Cabernet, full, almost opulent, very long - 100/100. Last absolute perfection in 2007. Mint on the nose, but also herbs and a fine sweetness. The sweetness of this very fine wine continues on the palate, with an endless finish. A Lafite of the century, now at its peak, where it will certainly remain for another 10-20 years - 100/100 (source: wineterminator.com Dr Becker).
