Lafite Rothschild Pauillac 02

By Stephen Tanzer Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, May/Jun 05 Rated: 92(+?) Bright, dark ruby-red. Subdued but pure aromas of currant, plum, minerals, graphite, and sexy, coconutty oak; showed a floral note with aeration. Extremely suave, fine-grained and concentrated, with a strong spine of acidity. Finishes firmly tannic, subtle and very long. This should develop slowly.
