Pauillac, Château Lafite-Rothschild 2015
Fun fact: in the original listing of the four premier cru classé in 1855, Lafite was at the top, thus implying a rarefied “best of the best” quality. Maybe there is an implicit expectation of bombast and braggadocio, but Lafite is the opposite, more dulcet tones and steady confidence. 2015 was one of the most acclaimed vintages of this century at the time of release thanks to a healthy balance of warm temperatures and timely rain, and those conditions may have added a dose of power in the Lafite. We’ve tasted several bottles over the past few years, so trust us when we say this is a loooooooong-lived wine. At the moment it’s wound up and shy on the nose, but layers of classic claret lie beneath. 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot.
