Product information

Wine Spectator (30.06.2001) : 94 A firm, young wine. Dark ruby colour. Intense aromas of blackberry and mint. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a long finish. Still needs time.

I was very unsure about Lafite Rothschild in the arrival tastings. It was a fine wine with wonderful, sweet fruit, but for me it couldn't compete with the best wines of the vintage. I only drank it twice after that. Raven-black in 2001, incredibly dense, still rather closed fruit concentrate, enormous potential, will fight with Mouton for the wine of the vintage, potential for 100/100. Dense colour in 2002, somewhat irritating lovage nose, clearly more accessible than 86 Mouton, slightly sweetish, but also massive acidity and tannins, was a little out of its depth. Whether it will ever really reach 100 points is now a purely academic discussion. In cool cellars, the answer is unlikely to come before 2015 (source: Wineterminator.com Dr Becker).
