Chateau Lafite Rothschild (1981)

Pauillac, Bordeaux, France

Varietal(s): Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot

Classic bouquet of red and black fruits, cedar, fruitcake, and tobacco-like aromas. In the mouth, this wine displays a delicacy of fruit and sweet attack, but subtle, well-defined flavors ranging from tobacco, cigar box, cedar, and fruitcake. This is a savory, soft Lafite-Rothschild that is pleasing to both the intellect and the palate.
