The Pauillac by Chateau Lafite Rothschild is an oenological monument of Bordeaux that expresses the power and crystalline class of Cabernet Sauvignon and, to a lesser extent, Merlot grapes. A champion in Olympus the great world red able to challenge time and coming from the most prestigious denomination of Medoc. It spreads an overwhelming aromatic complexity, composed of fruity shades of blackcurrant, cherries in alcohol, dried plums and figs, accompanied by more evolved nuances, due to the long aging in wood, of sweet spices, cocoa, sandalwood, menthol and black tea. It has a harmonious, majestic, robust and dense body, with perfectly integrated tannins and a nice freshness that accompanies a long and persistent finish. Unsurpassed!
