LAFITE 2003
Lying in Weybridge, Surrey (EHD)
Offered duty-paid, but available in bond
Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 2003
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
In original wooden case
Tasting Note: A modern day version of the 1959 Lafite, the 2003 Lafite Rothschild was bottled in mid-May, 2005 after achieving 12.9 natural alcohol - hardly an astonishing figure given the vintage's weather conditions. A combination of 86 Cabernet Sauvignon, 9 Merlot, 3 Cabernet Franc, and 2 Petit Verdot, it represents a ripe version of the essence of Lafite-Rothschild. Dense purple-coloured, with classic notes of graphite intertwined with melted liquorice, crème de cassis, smoke, and flowers, it reveals extraordinary richness, opulence, power, purity, intensity, and viscosity. Whether this wine will close down or not is questionable as it is somewhat atypical given its sweetness and softness. Analytically, there are extremely high tannins, which I suspect will assert themselves in the future. Production in 2003 was less than half of normal. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2050. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 164, April 2006.
