Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1998
Pauillac, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled Tasting Note: It boasts an opaque dense purple colour in addition to a gorgeously sweet, expansive perfume of cedar wood, blackcurrants, lead pencil, and minerals. What follows is a fat mid-palate, medium body, explosive fruit and richness, soft tannin, and a velvety texture. It is a beautiful, compelling Lafite-Rothschild that can be drunk young, yet promises to evolve for 15+ years. Although one of the most forward Lafites ever tasted, it is all the more captivating because of this characteristic. Don't miss it! Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 128, April 2000
