Château Lafite-Rothschild 2005

Produced during a successful year for great Cabernets Sauvignons and Petits Verdots, the 2005 Lafite-Rothschild carries depth and intense chrome aspects. The nose is intense, delicate, subtle yet very complex, with rich fruit accents. The palate is very neat and somewhat direct from beginning (the attack) to end. One is literally taken by a torrent of sensations and the complexity of this wine. The mid-palate surges in power, increasingly showing thicker structure and texture, as well as stronger flavours. This Pauillac is a superior wine. The power of the finish precedes a lovely and remarkably thick length, along with a rare elegance. This 2005 Lafite-Rothschild is definitely a superior wine.
