Chateau Lafite Rothchild 2006


My first Lafite.  Friend of Dr. Lau has his horse won a race in Happy Valley. Hence, opened this bottle of Lafite to celebrate even though its had not matured yet. 

Name of Wine: Château Lafite Rothschild

Vintage: 2006

Country/ Region: France, Bordeaux

Remarks: haunting, enchanting, mesmerizing. I couldn't quite say it was anything other than the standard blackcurrant/tobacco/pencil Bordeaux mix, but with a wild intensity and staying power. the graphite of pencil smell was strong. with a hint of oak smell.  Finishing was long lasting. excellent tanning. Colour was dark red, which means a relatively new wine. Breathing should have been longer.
