Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1991

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (86)

Lafite's light-bodied 1991 possesses moderate ruby color, a solid innercore of fruit, as well as potentially excessive tannin for its size and constitution. The wine exhibits Lafite's subtle personality with a leafy, tobacco, lead pencil nose intertwined with sweet aromas of cassis. Dry, austere, and lacking length, it should turn out to be a good representation of Lafite-Rothschild in this so-so year.

Winespectator (85)

A balanced, supple wine, with lovely blackberry, complex vanilla and ripe sweetness.
