"Château Lafite Rothschild 2002Pauillac. First Growth.Pristine condition. Original wooden case.1 case (12 bottles, 75cl each).The Wine Advocate April 2005, 94/100“A brilliant offering and a candidate for wine ofthe vintage, this is classic Lafite that reminded mesomewhat of the 1976, although the vintage conditionswere completely different. This is a medium-weight,quintessentially elegant style of Lafite with notes of leadpencil shavings/graphite along with black currants,plums, and crushed rocks/mineral. Wonderfully pure,dense, with a deep ruby/purple color and loads of fruit,definition, and a long finish, this is a brilliant, elegantLafite Rothschild that builds incrementally in the mouthand has more power and density than it initially seems.Anticipated maturity: 2008-2025.”"
