2024 Château Lafite-Rothschild, Pauillac
Dry | Red | Still
A very classic Lafite, not exuberant but rather a wine of vivid detail. There is nowhere to hide in the wine – rather like looking inside a Swiss watch. It transports the beautiful, gravelly Pauillac soils with notes of soy, iodine, graphite and sapid hedgerow fruit. There is bright acidity here, notes of violets and plenty of mineral-etched detail with a fine lattice of tannins. A fine Lafite to drink over the next thirty years.
