Château Lafite Rothschild, Pauillac 2004 100 to 200 bottles Count SimardThis beautiful, stunningly dense purple colored effort (includes about 90% Cabernet Sauvignon) offers up precise notes of graphite, black cherries, cassis, scorched earth, and minerals. Medium to full bodied with fabulous fruit, impressive richness, refreshing acidity, and sweet tannin, this beauty should be approachable in 4 5 years, and last for three decades. As Lafite Rothschilds go, this is somewhat of a sleeper vintage. Type: Red Wine Rating: RP
