Tobacco, cedar, cassis and lead pencil on the nose. The medium bodied wine is fresh, lively, with a blend of black cherry and cassis with an energetic, spicy, lively finish. Give it at least 8 more years to come around.

Medium bodied, fresh, classic and still youthful, the red berry, tobacco, lead pencil and cedar nose brings you to a medium bodied, crisp, soft, but firm palate. Time should help this wine soften and expand. 5,273 Views Tasted May 25, 2016From a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot, this Pauillac wine offers cedar wood, tobacco, cassis and spicy blackberry notes. Tannic, structured and filled with ripe, juicy cassis, this Bordeaux wine needs at least another 5 years before it really starts to open up. Sadly, due to its connection to Chateau Lafite Rothschild, this attractive wine has become far too expensive for its quality. 7,157 Views Tasted Oct 5, 2011 |

Musty on the nose, cedar, leafy, forest floor notes poked through. Medium bodied, with soft, round, supple textures and just a bit of spicy, red fruit in the finish. This would have been much better without the musty nose. Other bottles could be better, or not, depending on the provenance. 2,836 Views Tasted Dec 15, 2014 |
