Domaines Baron de Rothschild (Lafite) Reserve Speciale Pauillac Magnum 2021, A.C. Pauillac, France
This Pauillac is produced by Domaine Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) using grapes collected from younger vines at Château Duhart Milon and Chateau Lafite Rothschild itself. This accessible Pauillac will drink well from a young age and offers charm and character after an hour in a decanter. This is without doubt a modern classic, it’s precise, refined and concentrated style ranks as the finest from the region.
Intensely cocoa and coconut-scented nose from barrel aging. With swirling, balsamic notes appear, such as caramel, which combine with hints of sweet spices like clove. On the palate, it is a typical and very elegant Pauillac, at the same time robust, dense, and very aromatic.
