Ratings & Tasting Notes

Big nose. Lots of cassis, earth, barnyard. Smells very much like a classic Bordeaux. Lots of upfront fruit on the palette. Red currant, plum, pencil shavings. Some green pepper, vegetal notes. A pinch short on the finish, IMO. Still drinking young, wound a bit too tight. Come back in 10-20 years. Decanted two hours and drank over a 1-2 hour period. Definitely opened up as the night progressed. Towards the end was much more integrated and lost the tartness. Would recommend decanting longer if drinking now.

The 1995 Lafite-Rothschild (only one-third of the harvest made it into the final blend) is a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, and 8% Cabernet Franc. The wine was showing spectacularly well when I tasted it in November, 1997. It exhibits a dark ruby purple color, and a sweet, powdered mineral, smoky, weedy cassis-scented nose. Beautiful sweetness of fruit is present in this medium-bodied, tightly-knit, but gloriously pure, well-delineated Lafite. The 1995 is not as powerful or as massive as the 1996, but it is beautifully made with outstanding credentials, in addition to remarkable promise. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2028.
