Domaine Lafite Rothschild Reserve Medoc 2010
Tasting Note:
The 2010 vintage met the five conditions nescessary for a geat year in Bordeeaux: homogeneous, early flowering and setting (early June) with hot, dry, sunny weather; an equally early start to the ripening process (veraison), beginning in late July, complete ripeness due a warm, dry August and September, and finally dream harvests atarting late in September, in perferct weather conditions!
The wines of the Medoc show great quality, with superb aromatic expression, ripe, silky tannins, and a freshness in the finish which perfectly balances the sometimes high levels of alcohol.
Deep crimson, Aromatic and intense, combining jammy aromas of fruit (strawberries, blackcurrants) with notes of liquorice. Round and balanced, with ripe, velvety tannins, and spicy, powerful flavours (cinnamon, black pepper). Drink Now to 2020
WM Rating: 93+ points.
