Chateau Lafite Rothschild, Pauillac, France 2010 Grower Champagne "Believe the hype"Believe the hype. Lafite is perfect in 2010. The nose is amazing with sweet tobacco, dark chocolate and currants. It is amazing. Its like gazing into the blue sky in wonder after tasting this young wine. Full and powerful with amazing minerals, currants and bitter chocolate. It starts off slowly and then finishes with a bang. This is really layered and wonderful. It goes on and on. Stunning." 100 Pts James Suckling 10 Days ETA
