Lafite-Rothschild 2013

The 2013 Lafite-Rothschild lacks the usual precision and elegance that defines this estate. Mint and eucalyptus provide some lift on the palate, but the wine feels disjointed and lacks the seamless integration expected from a First Growth. The finish is particularly disappointing, showing none of the length or complexity that justifies the reputation. A wine coasting on pedigree rather than delivering true quality.
