This wine was tasted at last year's Wine Fair, At the time when the grapes for this wine was harvested, this 4th growth estate was at a reasonable price for what it is, but with the craze for Chateau Lafite-Rothschild from our brothers on the mainland spilling over to anything and everything associated with Lafite, this wine from their portfolio (and which had once been the second wine of Lafite in the 18th century) is also subject to the same type of irrational speculation.
When I tasted the wine last November, it was ruby red, with a cardboardy leafy nose. The palate was fruity acid and tannic, with an acid tannic backbone for support.
