This bottle of 1990 Lafite-Rothschild replicates the one poured at the château several months earlier. The bouquet offers black fruit, a little dustiness, leather and light marine notes, but again, it never slips into fifth gear. It just lacks vivacity. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly hard tannin, modest fruit concentration and a monochromatic finish that feels suppressed by that summer’s warmth. To reiterate, there are Super Seconds that clearly outperform this First Growth in 1990. Tasted at Noble Rot`s “Xmas” dinner. - Neil Martin
Lafite Rothschild is a superb classified growth from Pauillac. 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 13% Cabernet Franc aged for 18-20 months in 100% new barrels. On the nose, a complex mix of blue and black fruits with smoke, leather and spice nuances. Fine tannins on the palate leading to a very long finish.
