2004 Chateau Lafite Rothschild 6 Pack

97 POINTS

Roger Voss - Wine Enthusiast

96-98 A beautiful wine, concentrated and intense without tasting in any way extracted or forced. It has tannins, certainly, very dark and concentrated, but the fruit is black, powerful, rich, yet still maintaining purity and a sense of minerality from the vineyard.

Roger Voss - Wine Enthusiast

Yes, there is power to this wine. But more than that, it exudes authority; a dense and solid wine with an impressive presence and texture. It has a velvet mouthfeel: the tannins are dusty and mineral, alongside fruit flavors of ripe black plums and dark figs, leavened with fresh acidity. The potential, of course, is there: 20 years if you can wait.

Gary Walsh - The Wine Front

Raspberry and blackcurrant, cedar perfume,herbal and floral notes, lead and earth. Very precise and well balanced – feels very good and sure of itself – pulls long on the finish. Feels a complete wine and a bit minerally with it.

Wine Spectator

Intense aromas of currant, coffee, toasty oak and sweet tobacco follow through to a full-bodied palate, with velvety tannins, great mouthfeel and a long finish. A refined Lafite. Best after 2012. 22,080 cases made.
