Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2009

Pauillac, Haut-Médoc, Médoc, Bordeaux, FranceCool menthol, spice and smoky, liquorice notes. Possible TCA issue. The palate is dense with glossy, cassis and tobacco, black olive and cedar flavours. Dry, firm elegant, if like most first growths far too much oak with low fruit. Again the sample may have been suffering from a small amount of TCA. The price is crazy taking this wine out of the hands of aficionados and leaving it to the rich and famous.
