Château Lafite Rothschild Paulliac 1998
Region: Paulliac, France
Winery: Château Lafite Rothschild
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot
Rating: 5
Color: opaque purple-colored
Nose: spectacular nose of lead pencil, smoky, mineral, and black currant fruit soars majestically from the glass
Palate: elegant yet profoundly rich, revealing the essence of Lafite's character. The tannin is sweet, and the wine is spectacularly layered yet never heavy. The finish is sweet, super-rich, yet impeccably balanced and long (50+ seconds) (WA)
