Château Lafite 2018: « The Galaxy» -—————-- A very impressive wine that’s why I decided to put a black filter for this picture and named this wine like that. Why? Because I had this special feeling during the tasting! After the first smell all was dark like the night, but after aeration and after taking time, another dimension came: gradually one little light, like a star, illuminating all this darkness. Then a second one, then others, and others! At the end I had this incredible feeling: contemplating the Galaxy! This was a very complex, concentrated ...and captivating moment! "Dark" is for the black fruits, plum and blackcurrants who are very deep and dominants. I also find a little part of red cherries. "Light" is for the freshness and the feeling to see the different fruits, one by one illuminating in my mind by themselves. The blend is completed by the spices, especially black pepper adding complexity. Tannins are magnificent, very small and well-shaped. The length is long. So, which description do you like the most? For me Wine is a question of feeling and when I have this special feeling this is an amazing wine. Am I too much passionate? Or is it just an incredible wine? Maybe a blend ! ;) A personal score: 98-99/100 ——————————————— #lafite #rothschild #primeurs2018 #xlvinsfr #winelover #wineblogger #drink #instawine (à Château Lafite Rothschild) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxAkRn1HxZ8/?igshid=4nqkr5tx88tf
