2013 Lafite Rothschild, Pauillac fig and earth

fig and earth

but in the mouth this is refined and lifted

this blend of nearly two-thirds Cabernet Sauvignon and one-third Merlot is aging impressively

This is peppery and fun but a little light in the finish

Many argue that wines of the Macon cannot compete with Burgundy from the Cote de Beaune

2013 Lafite Rothschild, Pauillac fig and earth*Cellar Selection* Almost entirely Cabernet Sauvignon (98%), this structured and dense wine is packed with concentrated dark fruits that are firm, showing intense acidity and freshness under the dark tannins. It's classic Bordeaux, with fruit and tannins in equal measure and needing time. Drink from 2024. (RV)
