2014 Chateau Lafite Rothschild (375 ml)
Description
The 2014 Lafite-Rothschild, tasted with head winemaker Eric Kohler, has retained that very opulent and outgoing bouquet that dare I say actually reminded me of Mouton-Rothschild. There are layers of blackberry and boysenberry fruit, still that hint of juniper berry, certainly a more extrovert Lafite-Rothschild compared to recent vintages. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannin, very focused and quite linear, again with plenty of black fruit laced with cedar and tobacco. It begins to clam up towards the saline finish, suggesting that it will need several years in bottle, but I still have high expectations for this First Growth once afforded several years in bottle.

Tasting note
這款2014年的拉菲城堡紅酒是波爾多的經典混釀，帶有複雜而果香的鼻子和美麗的花香。口感強大而優雅，黑莓和黑醋栗的味道被紫羅蘭和雪松的香氣所補充，這是拉菲酒的典型特徵。餘味新鮮，和諧，非常長。這款酒在經過大約十年的陳年後最好享用，展現了豐富與精緻之間的愉快平衡。
This 2014 Chateau Lafite Rothschild is a classic Bordeaux blend, offering a complex and fruity nose with beautiful floral notes. The palate is massive, displaying power and elegance simultaneously. Blackberries and blackcurrants are complemented by notes of violet and cedar, typical of Lafite’s wines. The finish is fresh, harmonious, and very long. This wine is best enjoyed after about ten years of aging, showcasing a pleasant balance between richness and finesse.
