Aristocratic restraint defines the 2021 Lafite-Rothschild, a wine that whispers rather than shouts. The high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon brings structure and elegance, with dark red fruit, mint, lavender and rose petal emerging slowly. Everything is in perfect balance, though the wine's natural reserve requires considerable patience. This is classic Lafite sensuality wrapped in the vintage's natural intensity. Cellar through 2035.
