Lafite Rothschild - 2001 (750ml) 1989 A few angular contours stillThe 2001 Lafite Rothschild's deep, saturated plum purple color is accompanied by lead pencil liqueur like notes intermixed with sweet red and black currants, plums, and cedar. This blend of 86. 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 13. 5% Merlot is a classic example of Lafite. Extremely elegant, medium bodied, with intense concentration, richness, and sweet tannin, it appears to be on a rapid evolutionary track, at least in comparison to recent Lafite vintages
