Silent Lot # 118 – Chateau Lafite Rothschild
First Growth Bordeaux

Château Lafite Rothschild, one of the five First Growth Bordeaux, is, of course, one of the most famous and collected wines in the world. And tonight, one of our donors has contributed this incredible bottle of 2001 Domaines Barons de Rothschild Château Lafite Rothschild, Pauillac. The wine garnered 96 points from Wine Spectator: “Deep and generous aromas of blackberries, fresh tobacco and minerals. It’s full-bodied, with big velvety tannins and a super long finish. Like a fine cashmere sweater.” And 94 points from The Wine Advocate: “This blend is a classic example of Lafite. Extremely elegant, medium-bodied, with intense concentration, richness, and sweet tannin, it appears to be on a rapid evolutionary track, at least in comparison to recent Lafite vintages that have been far more backward and powerful.” This bottle needs a home in your cellar. Tonight.
