1996 Château Lafite RothschildPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/26/2014 - peternelson wrote: 99 pointsMonopole 1st Growth Tasting: Very fragrant mix of spices, fruit, florals, and earth; blue berry, blackberry, plum, olive, cherries blended beautifully with exotic spices, licorice, wet forest floor, truffles, musky scents, lead pencil, iron, and the list goes on! I loved the spicy clove-orange (christmas spice notes?) I got in this, along with a musky perfumy note. Awesome balance, silky, structured, fine tannins; this sits effortlessly in the mouth, but packs a punch. A true iron fist sort of thing. I'd probably agree with this being a 100 point wine, I just don't do 100! |
