2002 Château Lafite Rothschild
Community Tasting Note
ONEFIVE Likes this wine:
Sunday, April 21, 2024 - Upon opening the nose is super rustic. Horse blanket, dried soil, hay, with a touch of bitter red fruit and tobacco. It’s starting to open up and the nose is showing a bit of floral and mushroom qualities.
Silky entry, med weight, med+ acid, med- tannin.
It’s vibrant on the palate but the tannin is nicely refined and the mouthfeel is unreal. Perhaps a Lafite trademark. It’s weighty but light at the same time. Elegant but energetic. Shows the qualities of a less ripe year - this is a wine for acid heads.
