The Story

El Grand Vin de Château Lafite Rothschild no necesita presentación. Ya en 1815, Abraham Lawton lo había elevado a la cima de su clasificación: “Lo he calificado como aquel de mayor elegancia, delicadeza y fina esencia de los tres [premiers crus]” una calificación posteriormente confirmada en 1855. Para caracterizarlo más allá de las cosechas, presentamos las palabras de un aficionado inspirado: “…suceda lo que suceda, ¡todos los vinos de Châte...

Written Notes

Top-shoulder, decanted 30 minutes before tasting. A Deep, dark, hale and hearty looking colour. Enormously rich and ripe nose with some sweetness and black fruit. Opened instantly, in addition faded almost straight away. It only lasted 15 minutes in the glass, but during that short time the wine was exceptional. It reminded me a lot of Clos Vougeot 1821, which acted in exactly the same way and was also an amazing wine during those few moments. Those 15 minutes were glorious and lifelong– This 1874 Lafite had a fabulous complexity and intensity, and at the same time it was a very sensitive and fragile wine. What a sophisticated and refined moment. I was very fortunate to share this unique moment with my best friends – a grand moment, grand wine.
