Lafite Rothschild Magnum 2010

Lafite Rothschild 2010 is a full-bodied, Cabernet Sauvignon-based red wine from the Pauillac appellation of Bordeaux. Tracing its history back to 1234, Château Lafite Rothschild is an iconic First Growth property spanning 110 hectares in Pauillac. Château Lafite Rothschild produces a legendary eponymous first wine showcasing beautiful aromatics and an extraordinary capacity to age. The 2010 was a 100-point wine for several leading critics and is available here in magnum format. "This vintage featured a cold winter and cool weather at flowering, followed by a dry summer with a hot July and warm days and cool nights in August and September. The season delivered a wine with an inky dark colour and bright aromas of blackcurrant and spice with a distinctive floral edge. The texture is lively and crisp, with plenty of freshness, firm tannins, and impressive length. This wine will be best after another 10 years in bottle and will easily last 50 years beyond that. This superb, vibrant wine is a blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon and 13% Merlot with no Cabernet Franc or Petit Verdot in the grand vin." 100 points, Clive Coates MW, 2022
