CHATEAU LAFITE ROTHSCHILD 2004 750 ml

Description

Discover the allure of Château Lafite Rothschild 2004, a red wine hailing from the renowned Pauillac area in Bordeaux, France. This expression captures the essence of a legendary estate, where the land's distinct character shapes every bottle.

In 2004, nature delivered a varied growing cycle across Bordeaux. A wet winter transitioned into a chilly spring, then June and July turned dry and sunny. August softened the pace, while September's ideal weather ensured grapes reached peak ripeness. The result? A wine with poised equilibrium and subtle sophistication.

Pour it out, and a deep purple shade greets the eye, holding onto its vibrant youthfulness. Lift the glass to your nose, and layers unfold: graphite mingles with ripe cassis and black cherries, woven through with mineral notes, faint cedar whispers, and a touch of earthiness. On the tongue, it reveals a medium body, wrapped in smooth, velvety tannins and steady acidity. Blackberry leads the dance, joined by graphite and cedar echoes, all trailing into a lingering, graceful close.

Experts have taken note. Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate awarded it 95 points, celebrating its pure allure, richness, and poised framework. Wine Enthusiast matched that score, noting its intensity, firm build, plush texture, bursts of black plum and fig, and lively freshness.

To savor at its best, chill gently to about 60°F (15.5°C). A good decant lets it breathe and blossom fully. Enjoy it today in its prime, or tuck it away for future evolution in your cellar.

This Pauillac gem from Château Lafite Rothschild embodies enduring grace. Whether elevating a quiet evening or anchoring a special gathering, its depth and harmony make it a standout choice for those who appreciate Bordeaux's finest red wines. Secure your bottle of Château Lafite Rothschild 2004 and let its story unfold on your table.
