The Story

ラフィットには魂が宿っています。優美で寛大で、柔和な魂です。ラフィットは大地を夢へと変化させます。ラフィットはハーモニー、自然と人とのハーモニー。つまり、優秀なヴィニュロン無くしては、何も生まれてきません」
エリック・ド・ロートシルト男爵

1815年、ギヨーム・ロートンは、早々と、シャトー・ラフィット・ロートシルトに次のような賛辞を残しています。「3軒(のプルミエ・クリュ)の中でも、極上のエレガンスと繊細さ、そして精気を備えたワインである。メドックでも最も優美な場所に位置するブドウ畑に数えられる。」1855年、万国博覧会を機会に制定された、かの有名な格付け。シャトー・ラフィット・ロートシルトは、格付け第一級の認定を得ています。

Written Notes

Although it sometimes takes more than 50 years for a wine to become enjoyable, the wait was in this case worthwhile – those sceptical opinions that this strongly tannic wine and vintage received in the middle of the 19th century can now be understood. But how marvellous and brilliant this Lafite must have been 50 years later, at the beginning of the 20th century, since it still is one of the best Lafite we have encountered – even at the age of almost 200 years! A château-bottled bottle of 375 ml in good condition. The colour of the wine and the level were both excellent. Decanted for 15 minutes. Held well in glass for approximately 45 minutes. This Lafite must have been almost black when it was born, since the colour was still deep dark red. The nose was most intoxicating – spicy, pure and strongly seductive. Intensive, but the velvety tannins and quite high alcohol content were still present, though now well in balance with the abundant, jam-like fruitiness. An extremely pleasant, majestic and multi-dimensional wine that had a long, soft aftertaste one could still feel lingering in the mouth the next morning.

Medium-intense, little hazy marron colour. Open and complex nose with cedary, somky and bacony aromas enhanced with minty and cherry tones. Surprisingly intense, medium-bodied palate with mouthwatering acidity, delicate texture and sweet cherry fruitiness. No tannins. Balanced, long, and round finish. Although lacking finesse, this is still a proof that immortal wines exists! – JL 96p (4/2006)

Estate bottled. Fill level high shoulder. Recorked in England in 1937. Slightly cloudy, developed cherry colour with an orange edge. Intensive, nuanceful nose is charming – cigarbox, mint, smoke, bacon and cherry. Vividly acid, surprisingly intensive and fleshy, medium full mouthfeel. Soft tannins and sweet ripe fruit create a deliciously flirtatious taste experience, reflecting balance and quality in the form of a long aftertaste. Although the wine lacks elegance, its fullness and vividness are surprising.
