Château Lafite Rothschild, the name itself a whisper of prestige in the world of fine wine, needs little introduction. Their 1988 vintage whispers tales of royalty, finesse, and enduring grace, offering a tasting experience that transcends mere wine.

The 1989 Lafite Rothschild unfurls in a tapestry of aromas. Ripe cassis mingles with hints of cedar, tobacco, and a touch of earthy spice, hinting at the complexity to come. On the palate, a burst of vibrant acidity awakens the senses, paving the way for a full-bodied experience. Densely textured tannins frame the rich core of noble Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, each drop delivering a symphony of power and elegance.

A Toast to the Critics:

The 1989 Lafite has drawn universal acclaim, captivating the hearts and palates of the elite:

• Jeff Leve (The Wine Cellar Insider): 92/100, Medium-bodied, firm, and reticent, the wine was a bit simple for a Lafite with its focus on its cedar, cigar wrapper, and red currant core in the nose and on the rustic, leaning palate. At 35 years of age, this is, what it is, and doubt it will improve or change in character. Though it will be long-lived. Drink from 2024-2050.
• Jancis Robinson: 17/20
• La Revue du Vin de France: 17/20
• Robert Parker The Wine Advocate: 95/100
