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
Right on cue came the 1953 Lafite Rothschild. This was another spectacular bottle, perfect in every way, another ‘holy shit’ wine I eloquently wrote. There was more caramel in the ’53, and while softer like the vintage, it still had great concentration and unbelievable sweetness. The two best Lafites showed the best they could be on this magical night (99)
Opened 10 minutes before . Mid to light ruby with a hint of brown. Light but certainly refined on the nose with strong lead pencils. Even rather Cabernet Franc-like in its aromatic nature. Sweet start then rather firm and even slightly metallic on the palate. Great energy there. Flattering and ethereal. I could imagine some people finding it too light. Super refreshing. Difficult to imagine this sort of wine being made today. More transparent. Then it opens out in the glass and seems to gain depth. Only very, very slightly dry finish. But it blossoms beautifully in the glass. Putty, fragrance, sweet juiciness. So fluid. Freshness. Ethereal and the nose grew and grew - such fabulous lift... The most elegant wine by far here. Tasted: 17-Sep-2009
Château Lafite-Rothschild 1953 was equally good, but of course different. Maybe a bit finer, more precise, less sensual. More floral aromas, perhaps even more length. Unimaginable purity of flavors, all balanced and generous.
This is the most elegant and classic examples of what I understand as “claret” of all wines, assuming you get a good bottle. This was very good. 97 pts.
