Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 2006
Pauillac, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
In six-bottle original wooden cases
Tasting Note: One of the fabulous surprises, although I had suggested last year that it could jump in quality, of my tastings, the 2006 Lafite Rothschild is a great, great wine made from a blend of 82 Cabernet Sauvignon, 16 Merlot, and 2 Petit Verdot. When I tasted it from barrel, it reminded me of their successful 1988, but it is dramatically superior to that vintage. Frankly, it may turn out to be as good as the 2005, which in all of Bordeaux is a far greater vintage than 2006. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 181 (February 2009)
