Description

Drink Date 2024 - 2057

Composed of 97% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2.5% Merlot and 0.5% Petit Verdot, the 2017 Lafite Rothschild is deep garnet-purple colored. It opens slowly, cautiously with restrained notes of chocolate-covered cherries, mulberries, warm blackcurrants and wild blueberries, followed by emerging notions of smoked meats, fragrant earth, crushed rocks and lilacs with touches of cast-iron pan and Marmite toast. Medium-bodied, the palate is deceptively light and quite ethereal on entry, growing in the mouth to reveal elegant layers of energetic red and black fruits with tons of savory accents. Framed by exquisitely ripe, wonderfully fine-grained tannins, it has exhilarating freshness and a very long, hypnotically perfumed finish. On a final note, the alcohol here is a jaw-dropping 12.5%, which is something of a miracle considering the ripeness of the Cabernet. A total head-turner, I cannot wait to follow the development of this wine!

Tasting note

2017年的拉菲城堡紅酒,來自法國波亞克的經典之作,展現了力量與優雅的完美和諧。這款以赤霞珠為主的酒呈現深邃的色澤,香氣雖然尚顯內斂,卻預示著隨著時間展開的豐富層次。口感上,鮮明的黑加侖子味道與雪松、薄荷的細微香氣交織,帶來強烈而又被精巧包裹的力量感。即便在年輕時,這款酒已展現出拉菲的卓越品質——既有細膩的質感,又不失濃郁的集中度。建議醒酒兩小時,以充分體驗其和諧的風味。搭配烤羊肉或威靈頓牛排最為合適,亦可與蘑菇燴飯或熟成硬質乳酪同享。

The 2017 Chateau Lafite Rothschild, a timeless emblem from Pauillac, France, is a testament to the harmony of power and elegance. With a blend dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine exudes a deep, dark color and a bouquet that promises an unfolding of vast aromatic complexity over time. The palate is greeted with vibrant notes of black-currant, layered with subtle hints of cedar and mint, leading to an intense yet contained power. The wine's finesse and concentration are already discernible, foretelling the qualities of a great Lafite. It is recommended to decant for two hours to fully appreciate its harmonious character. Perfectly paired with roasted lamb or beef Wellington, it also complements a mushroom risotto or aged hard cheeses.
