On the palate, the texture is tight and dense. Then the heart of the wine comes through, with solid, compact balance. Very dense finish, and yet the tannins are \"almost light and airy\"!

It has enormous tension, structure and a core of dark tannins. Amid all this, the wine is also packed with fruit and concentrated blackberry and black-plum flavors. It will age slowly and steadily with its enormous structure and concentration.

This has a very focused, streamlined feel overall, yet there’s serious depth for the cellar. Best from 2020 through 2035.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProdProReviews_review\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProdProReviews_review\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 Points - \u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_name\"\u003eRobert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProdProReviews_review\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProdProReviews_review\"\u003eThe 2014 Lafite-Rothschild, tasted with head winemaker Eric Kohler, has retained that very opulent and outgoing bouquet that dare I say actually reminded me of Mouton-Rothschild. There are layers of blackberry and boysenberry fruit, still that hint of juniper berry, certainly a more extrovert Lafite-Rothschild compared to recent vintages. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannin, very focused and quite linear, again with plenty of black fruit laced with cedar and tobacco. It begins to clam up towards the saline finish, suggesting that it will need several years in bottle, but I still have high expectations for this First Growth once afforded several years in bottle.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BSW Liquor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47038871830758,"sku":"137863","price":1350.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0567\/3759\/5545\/files\/899936_ca02765c-7fd0-45ed-9657-54009410f184.webp?v=1768344018","url":"https:\/\/www.bswliquor.com\/products\/chateau-lafite-rothschild-2097","provider":"BSW Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
