Product details

The 2000 Château Lafite Rothschild, awarded a perfect 100/100 by James Suckling, is a millennium icon. It exhibits an intense ruby-purple core. The nose bursts with violets, crisp mint, and blackberries, layered with smoky cedar, graphite, and exotic spices. On the palate, exceptionally concentrated yet vibrant flavors of cassis jam and crushed minerals are supported by robust tannins (91% Cabernet Sauvignon, the highest ever). The finish exceeds 60 seconds, marrying power with finesse. With aging potential beyond 2040, it features a commemorative "2000" engraving and five-arrow emblem on the neck
