Château Lafite Rothschild 2018 is a remarkably refined Pauillac, showing deep cassis, black cherry, cedar, and graphite aromas with subtle floral and tobacco accents.
On the palate it is medium- to full-bodied, precise, and tightly structured, with silky tannins and a cool mineral line that carries the fruit through a long, focused finish. The wine is concentrated yet restrained, with a classic Lafite sense of elegance rather than overt power. It should evolve beautifully for many years and may appeal to fans of highly polished, ageworthy Bordeaux. Best served with roast lamb, venison, or another simply prepared game dish.
