  WEINWISSER: Geniales Bouquet, geröstete Mandeln, Vanille, Milchkaffee, Chambertin-artige Süsse, berauschend, facettenreich, mit viel erfrischenden Komponenten. Im Gaumen so, wie ein Lafite sein muss: fein, elegant, delikat, tänzerisch. Der legitime Nachfolger des legendären 1953ers, aber in einer noch perfekter vinifizierten Form."

  "Beautiful, rich and still extremely young, this is Lafite at its gulpable, elegant, sculpted, age-defying best. Deeply-spiced cassis notes are joined by touches of cedar - the result of a dry year that saw one of the earliest harvests since 1898. The grapes were picked with high alcohol and ripe tannins and they have absolutely lasted, and will continue to do so. The tannins are cradling the fruit, barely perceptible and yet still fully in control."

  "Château Lafite-Rothschild Pauillac 1989: I have never been a huge fan of this Lafite but it seems to be coming into its own now. It´s a wine with a character of cloves and berries with hints plums. It shows loads of potpourri. Roses too. Full and so balanced. Tight and youthful. The winemaker at Lafite says that when he wants to show someone a perfect example of Pauillac this is the Lafite he pours. Maybe he is right?"
