Dense nose, aromas of red and black fruit, boxwood and spicy notes. Very dense on the palate with fine intensity. Very complex finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96 Points - Wine Enthusiast\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine shows the power typical of a Lafite but within the context of the fruity 2011 vintage. The immensely dense tannic structure gives the wine a solid feel that is lifted by so much ripe black currant and berry fruits. At the back, the wine has a more brooding, dark character that suggests great aging potential. Drink this wine from 2019.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94 Points - \u003cspan itemprop=\"author\" class=\"pipProdProReviews_name\"\u003eWine Spectator\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv itemprop=\"reviewBody\" class=\"pipProdProReviews_review\"\u003eThis delivers pronounced tobacco and bay leaf notes up front, with a core of steeped plum and currant fruit and a fleshy edge through the charcoal-lined finish.

Exhibiting a deep ruby\/purple color, lots of crushed rock, red and black currant, forest floor and underbrush characteristics, moderate tannin and medium body, it is built somewhat along the lines of the 1999 and 2001. It should be a 20- to 25-year wine, but it is not at the level of the 2008, 2009 and 2010. Fresh acids give the wine a somewhat more clipped feeling than most great Lafites have exhibited. Nevertheless, there is a lot of freshness and vibrancy to this vintage.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Connect Logistics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43835987755238,"sku":"862523","price":1375.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0567\/3759\/5545\/files\/field_image_044a8e3c-a22b-479c-b932-c527e9f1eb5a.png?v=1753126095","url":"https:\/\/www.bswliquor.com\/products\/chateau-lafite-rothschild-2011","provider":"BSW Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
