De 2007 Lafite-Rothschild rijp rood fruit neus is eerst gesloten, dan vol en rond. De geschiedenis van het wijnjaar volgend, is deze Pauillac lichter dan gewoonlijk en zal waarschijnlijk eerder opengaan. Opvallend is de elegante stijl, die zowel de neus als het gehemelte verleidt. De aangename tactiele effecten van romige tannines kietelen zachtjes het gehemelte met goed geïntegreerd hout en de afdronk. Liefhebbers zullen deze Lafite-Rothschild 2007 graag vroeger dan gewoonlijk openen.

Wine Advocate-Parker :
Tasted at BI Wine & Spirits' 10-Years-On tasting, the 2007 Lafite-Rothschild has an elegant cigar box bouquet, with dusky black fruit and a touch of antique bureauâÇöjust classic Lafite. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, cedar and tobacco infusing the black fruit, classic in style with a conservative yet focused finish that lingers in the mouth. This is certainly the most subtle First Growth, but one of the most refined tooâÇöa sophisticated but understated Lafite-Rothschild that will age with discrete style. Tasted February 2017.
