One of the greatest wines produced in Bordeaux this year is the 2019 Lafite Rothschild, an impeccably balanced classic of immense charm and grace. Wafting from the glass with arresting aromas of cassis, blackberries and cherries mingled with violets, cigar box and warm spices, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and seamless, its velvety attack segueing into a layered, concentrated mid-palate framed by exquisitely powdery tannins and ripe acids, and concluding with a long, perfumed finish. This rivals the 2010 and 2016 as the greatest Lafite of the decade, and of those three vintages, it's clearly the most sensual and demonstrative out of the gates. The blend contains fully 94% Cabernet Sauvignon and attained a modest 13.4% alcohol.

此酒酒液呈深紫紅色，濃郁的烤黑櫻桃、成熟黑莓、黑醋栗酒的香氣源源不斷從杯中奔騰而出，隨之而來(lái)的是些許摩卡咖啡、甘草、熏肉和花椒的氣息，隱隱有一陣桉樹香。酒體中等，入口立刻感受到了口感的輕靈優(yōu)雅，但又有著驚人的濃郁度，風(fēng)味一層一層展現(xiàn)，濃墨重彩的煙熏、咸香風(fēng)味和成熟水果風(fēng)味近乎讓人不能自拔。酒中精致的粉質(zhì)單寧支撐起了酒款框架，同時(shí)又有足夠的清新感與之匹配，余味如史詩(shī)般悠長(zhǎng)。

這款酒的香氣展現(xiàn)出驚人的復(fù)雜度，散發(fā)著黑醋栗、鉛筆芯以及令人驚喜的石墨和焦油氣息，其酒體飽滿，口感又是如此和諧、圓潤(rùn)。這是一款優(yōu)雅、復(fù)雜而不失精致的葡萄酒。單寧是如此和諧且連綿不絕，余味在口腔中持續(xù)了數(shù)分鐘之久。這款酒由94%赤霞珠、5%梅洛和1%味而多混釀而成。
