Lobenberg: Ein ziemlich perfekter, archetypischer Medoc. 96/100

Suckling über: Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1er Cru

-- Suckling: This is so beautiful now and exhibits real aged-Bordeaux character with currant-bush, tobacco and berry aromas that follow through to a medium body with firm tannins and a creamy finish. Still so together. The finish turns to cigar box, sandalwood and berry. Drink or hold. 96/100

Galloni über: Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1er Cru

-- Galloni: The 1985 Lafite-Rothschild is only a modest success in the context of the vintage. Here, it is totally outclassed by the 1985 Las Cases. Light, slightly loose-knit red berry fruit on the nose is complemented by warm gravel and smoky aromas, though it lacks a bit of energy. The palate is nicely balanced, not powerful but focused, with adequate freshness. As mentioned in my previous tasting note, this has dispensed with some density in recent years, and if your expectations are modest, it remains enjoyable. Tasted at Hameau de Barbaron in Burgundy. 93/100

Jane Anson über: Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1er Cru

-- Jane Anson: The finest of tannins draws this out slowly and confidently, capturing scents of crushed roses, incense, tobacco leaf and white truffle alongside sage, salted cracker, mint, blackberry and raspberry fruits, everything so fully integrated that you can barely tell where one flavour ends and the next begins. Captures the finesse, subtlety and elegance that is such a signature of Lafite when it is fully mature and in an extended drinking window - and from experience I would say that it will stay in this moment for a good few decades more. Driest September on record at the time. Baron Eric de Rothschild heading up the estate at the time, Gilbert Rokvam technical director, Charles Chevallier had joined from Rieussec a few years before. The vineyard was 90ha in the mid 1980s, so around 20ha smaller than today. 95/100

Decanter über: Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1er Cru

-- Decanter: Last tasted in 2018 at the Lafite 160th anniversary supper, and it is delivering just as much pleasure a few years later - this is classically true when a wine is on its plateau, particularly in good vintages, when it can hold the line for a stubbornly long time. This just contains so much of what makes Lafite Lafite - there is an effortless elegance, it is subtle but rewarding, building in layers and complexity over the palate. Now in the tertiary period where the fine tannins are fully integrated but still offering support to brambled fruits, cured leather, black spice, sage, mint and salted truffles. Baron Eric in charge, Gilbert Rokvam technical director and Yves le Canu director. The vineyard was 90ha at the time, so around 20ha smaller than today. 5% Petit Verdot completes the blend. 94/100

Falstaff über: Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1er Cru

-- Falstaff: Dunkles, vitales Rubingranat mit violetten Reflexen, zarte Randaufhellung. In der Nase etwas verhalten, zart nach Dörrzwetschken, Gewürze, Herzkirschen, feines Schokokaramell, unterlegt mit einem Hauch Grafit und Zedernholz. Am Gaumen feines Zwetschkenkonfit, ausgewogen und hochelegant, ein Wein voll Charme, hat die perfekte Trinkreife erreicht, wirkt frisch und verführerisch, ein zeitloser Lafite-Klassiker, der kein Gramm Fett zu viel auf den Knochen hat. 94/100

Lafite Rothschild

Bereits im Jahre 1234 als Weinproduzent erwähnt, kann Château Lafite Rothschild aus Pauillac auf eine lange Erfolgsgeschichte zurückblicken. Schon Thomas Jefferson, der dritte Präsident der Vereinigten Staaten, wusste den Wein zu schätzen und so war es nicht verwunderlich, als Château Lafite...
