Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite
Les Légendes R Pauillac Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot
This is a wine with a medium-dark tint to it. In addition to red berries, the nose brings a floral element and a trace of oak. On the palate, the fruit is forward while the savory oak notes come in behind. Tannins are quite firm and the acidity provides a tingle. The finish is long, with a hint of mint in it.

Oct 9th, 2021Delicious wine made from grapes from Lafite and nearby. Impressive distinctive Bordeaux that is approachable now. Impressive for the price. #wbc18

Oct 5th, 2018The 3rd ranked Cabernet blend cuvée from Lafite Rothschild. Deep Crimson with a purple tinge. Muted blackberry on the nose. On the palate austere, lacking in fruit with stern M+Tannins. Quite powerful from the excellent 2010 vintage. Sinewy notes on palate (from younger vines?). Seems to have not aged in 7 years. Give it another 5 to 10 years at least.

Aug 31st, 2021Pauillac at its best. Lead pencil, dry graphite, course tannins all in capsulated by dry rich extracts of dark cherry, blue berry and currant.
