Wine Spectator, November 1995

Obviously an excellent year for Lafite but overshadowed by '61 on vintage charts. Tastes firm tannic but fruity lively and crisp with great balance. Drink now to 2000.

This famous First Growth is often described as perfumed, elegant and delicate, and one of the finest wines in Bordeaux. According to Baron Eric de Rothschild, Chateau Lafite has a beautiful, generous, and kindly soul that turns bare earth into heaven. The blend for this grand vin varies from vintage to vintage, but is typically 80-95% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5-20% Merlot, with the balance from Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
