The Château Lafite Rothschild 2002 is an aristocratic First Growth benchmark showcasing the estate’s hallmark symmetry, ethereal lightness, and classical restraint. Now entering its prime maturity window, this Pauillac unfolds with quintessential aromas of crushed cassis, graphite lead pencil shavings, cigar box, cedarwood, and delicate dried violets. On the palate, seamless, finely spun tannins cradle a core of black fruit and cool minerality, culminating in an extraordinarily poised, persistent finish.
