Composed of 97% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2.5% Merlot and 0.5% Petit Verdot, the 2017 Lafite Rothschild is deep garnet-purple colored. It opens slowly, cautiously with restrained notes of chocolate-covered cherries, mulberries, warm blackcurrants and wild blueberries, followed by emerging notions of smoked meats, fragrant earth, crushed rocks and lilacs with touches of cast-iron pan and Marmite toast. Medium-bodied, the palate is deceptively light and quite ethereal on entry, growing in the mouth to reveal elegant layers of energetic red and black fruits with tons of savory accents. Framed by exquisitely ripe, wonderfully fine-grained tannins, it has exhilarating freshness and a very long, hypnotically perfumed finish. On a final note, the alcohol here is a jaw-dropping 12.5%, which is something of a miracle considering the ripeness of the Cabernet. A total head-turner, I cannot wait to follow the development of this wine!

這是一個美味的時刻，讓人忍不住細(xì)細(xì)回味。這款酒中有著高比例的赤霞珠（Cabernet Sauvignon），風(fēng)味復(fù)雜而有層次，首先展現(xiàn)出的是醋栗和越橘的風(fēng)味，隨后，木炭、板巖、雪松甚至是松露的味道噴涌而出，盡管這款酒還如此年輕。余味纏綿不斷。這款酒風(fēng)格輕松但又復(fù)雜難解，最重要的是它讓人感覺它就是拉菲（Lafite）——在我看來，這款酒是該年份紅葡萄酒中的強(qiáng)有力的競爭者。雖然沒有2016年份那么濃郁強(qiáng)烈，但卻依舊美妙。產(chǎn)量為每公頃4,000升，未受到霜凍影響，或者說只是一小塊受到了影響。釀酒采用了99%的新橡木桶。PH值為3.75，適飲期2027年-2045年。
