Château Lafite Rothschild Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2009
The 2009 Lafite Rothschild is a candidate for "wine of the vintage." ...may be the most concentrated Lafite I have ever tasted...There is not a hard edge to be found in this inky/purple-colored wine displaying notes of charcoal, incense, black currants, and licorice. In the mouth, it represents a liqueur of black fruits offered in a remarkably full-bodied, incredibly elegant, lush style. Expansive, savory, staggeringly concentrated, and voluptuous as well as wonderfully precise with a hint of minerality, this sensational wine's technical numbers are off the charts. Is this a replay of the 1959?... Robert Parker

This is one of the great Lafites! From a wonderful and flamboyant vintage this shows incredible aging potential. Tasted at the chateau out-of-the-barrel in the spring of 2010. I'll also add I a big fan of Lafite, though not in love with its pricing- it's a Bordeaux classified growth problem, nevertheless, a super wine! #bordeaux #lafite #ultrapremiumwines

Served at a lunch w Chinese food. Clearly too young but incredibly smooth and deep. Unfortunately, most of the first bottle was slugged down in small shots. I slowed everyone down after I saw what we were drinking.
