CHÂTEAU LAFITE ROTHCHILD 2005

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

Beautiful, elegant red, blue and black fruits (89% Cabernet Sauvignon and 11% Merlot) as well as some graphite and spice notes jump from the glass of the 2005 Lafite Rothschild. Medium-bodied, with superb purity and texture, this is not a blockbuster by any means, but a meticulously made, lovely-textured Pauillac. Long and pure, this wine should drink well for 25-30 years. There is no danger in pulling the cork on it today. 95 WA 98 WS

Estimate $3,000-$3,500

Realised: $3,120
Price Includes Buyer's Premium ?
