In quest'annata di grandi Cabernet Sauvignon e Petit Verdot, l'aspetto del Pauillac Lafite-Rothschild 2005 dello Château Lafite-Rothschildassume un carattere che rivela profondità e intensità cromatica. Il naso è intenso, delicato e raffinato e ha una grande complessità con un rilevante aroma fruttato ed è, per definizione, ampio. Il palato è deciso, dritto dall'attacco al finale. Si è sopraffatti, letteralmente trasportati, da questo torrente di sensazioni e di complessità. Al centro della bocca aumenta la potenza, che va crescendo con lo spessore della struttura, della consistenza e della potenza del gusto. Questo PauillacPremier Cru Classé di Bordeaux ha la classe delle grandi bottiglie. La potenza del finale precede una bella lunghezza con una notevole densità e una rara eleganza che inscrivono il Pauillac Premier Cru classé Lafite-Rothschild 2005 nel pantheon dei grandi vini, importanti in un decennio come in un secolo.

Wine Advocate-Parker :
Having tasted the 2005 Château Lafite-Rothschild several times both blind and non-blind, it comes across as a First Growth politely requesting more time to settle. Here, from an ex-château bottle tasted in Bordeaux, it delivers that graphite, pencil-box bouquet that unfurls gradually in the glass, biding its time, graceful but not intense. Parallel to some of its fellow 2005s, it is developing a little more spice, namely thyme and sage, than I recall. The palate is medium-bodied and beautifully balanced, to wit, a sophisticated Pauillac that priorities elegance and poise over intensity of fruit--in keeping with Lafite Rothschild's style. You come away with the sense that it will take its time and decline, giving away a great deal in its primacy, even if it is still more approachable than the 2005 Latour for example. Therefore, I would be inclined to set this aside for several more years. Tasted November 2014.
