1996 Château Lafite-Rothschild, 1er Cru Pauillac
Pedigree, precision, and the pinnacle of elegance. Such finesse and remarkable longevity perpetuate Lafite as the utmost in expression of Pauillac’s gravelly terroir. As such, its status as one of the world’s most coveted and consistently outstanding wines remains unmoved - to which this '96 and its 'beguiling symmetry' (Neal Martin, 2018) fully attest.
