LAFITE-ROTHSCHILD 1995 Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1995 Pauillac, 1er cru classé Offered in an original wooden case Tasting note: The 1995 Lafite-Rothschild (only one-third of the harvest made it into the final blend) is a blend of 75 Cabernet Sauvignon, 17 Merlot, and 8 Cabernet Franc. The wine was showing spectacularly well when I tasted it in November, 1997. It exhibits a dark ruby purple color, and a sweet, powdered mineral, smoky, weedy cassis-scented nose. Beautiful sweetness of fruit is present in this medium-bodied, tightly-knit, but gloriously pure, well-delineated Lafite. The 1995 is not as powerful or as massive as the 1996, but it is beautifully made with outstanding credentials, in addition to remarkable promise. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2028. 95 points.
