Château Lafite Rothschild 2009 is a poised, classic Pauillac, showing a deep core of blackcurrant, plum, cedar, tobacco leaf, and graphite.
The palate is medium- to full-bodied, with polished tannins, excellent freshness, and a long, layered finish that feels both powerful and refined. It has the signature Lafite elegance and restraint, with more depth and density than charm alone, and should continue to evolve beautifully for years. This is a wine for patience, though it is already impressively composed in the glass.
Serve with roast lamb, beef tenderloin, or a simple truffle-inflected dish.
