Graceful and fully evolved, this 1985 Château Lafite Rothschild offers refined red and black currant fruit laced with tobacco leaf, warm earth, and subtle cedar spice. The palate is medium-bodied but persistent, with beautifully resolved tannins and a silky, savory finish that lingers on hints of cigar box and sandalwood. A classic, old-school Lafite that privileges elegance and nuance over power.

Château Lafite Rothschild, the grand vin of this historic Pauillac first growth, is a predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon blend from old vines rooted in deep gravel over limestone on the château’s slopes, the Carruades plateau, and parcels in Saint-Estèphe. Renowned for its refined, cedar-tinged bouquet and a balance of power, finesse, and longevity, it is widely regarded as one of Bordeaux’s most elegant and collectible wines.
