A modern day version of the 1959 Lafite, the 2003 Lafite Rothschild was bottled in mid-May, 2005 after achieving 12.9% natural alcohol – hardly an astonishing figure given the vintage’s weather conditions. A combination of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot, it represents a ripe version of the essence of Lafite-Rothschild. Dense purple-colored, with classic notes of graphite intertwined with melted licorice, creme de cassis, smoke, and flowers, it reveals extraordinary richness, opulence, power, purity, intensity, and viscosity. Whether this wine will close down or not is questionable as it is somewhat atypical given its sweetness and softness. Analytically, there are extremely high tannins, which I suspect will assert themselves in the future. Production in 2003 was less than half of normal. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2050.

Fine Wine Tip of the Week

Bordeaux 2009 - Scarcity !

The market so far in 2012 has seen quite a lot of volatility with some members of the trade continuing the panic selling that started in the last few months of 2011. This led to prices reacting negatively and we have seen the largest bear run since 2008.

On Liv-ex (the wine stock market) we have seen in the last couple of weeks some positive signs of buying interest returning to the markets. Read more...
