Tasting Notes
A candidate for the wine of the vintage, the 2007 Lafite Rothschild (84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot) reveals classic Lafite aromas of graphite, unsmoked cigar tobacco, black currants, cherries, and a hint of truffles. The complex aromatics are followed by a round, medium to full-bodied wine with silky tannins, an overall subtle smoky component, and a rich, round, generous, plump finish. Already evolved and delicious, it should continue to drink well for two decades. (Wine Advocate #188 Apr 2010)

A big, juicy wine for the vintage, with spice, sweet tobacco and plum
aromas and flavors. Full, long and rich, with a soft texture. A little
tight, but should develop nicely in the bottle. Best after 2014. 20,085
cases made.
