2001 Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac from this lot has the following scores - Vinous 97 points, The Wine Advocate 96 points, Wine Spectator 96 points, Jeannie Cho Lee (formerly Asian Palate) 96 points, The Wine Front 96 points, Decanter 95 points, Jeff Leve The Wine Cellar Insider 95 points. This is the tasting note for 2001 Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac from Robert Parker - The 2001 Lafite Rothschild’s deep, saturated plum/purple color is accompanied by lead pencil liqueur-like notes intermixed with sweet red and black currants, plums, and cedar. This blend of 86.5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 13.5% Merlot is a classic example of Lafite. Extremely elegant, medium-bodied, with intense concentration, richness, and sweet tannin, it appears to be on a rapid evolutionary track, at least in comparison to recent Lafite vintages that have been far more backward and powerful. .
