World Wine 2003 Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac

PLEASE CALL OR E-MAIL. VERY LIMITED. Pauillac, France Chateau Lafite Rothschild is a classic for any wine lover s cellar, with a perfect 100 score from Robert Parker! WA 100, WS 96, Tanzer 93-97 Robert Parker s review: "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-colored, with classic notes of graphite intertwined with melted licorice, creme 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. Pr
