The aroma opens with intense floral notes

Château Palmer 2019 pairs particularly well with beef

and there is good aromatic balance

and refined balance

Château Lafite Rothschild 1er Cru Classé, Pauillac, 2014, 75cl 12-set strawberriesThe 2014 Lafite Rothschild, tasted with head winemaker Eric Kohler, has retained that very opulent and outgoing bouquet that dare I say actually reminded me of Mouton Rothschild. There are layers of blackberry and boysenberry fruit, still that hint of juniper berry, certainly a more extrovert Lafite Rothschild compared to recent vintages. The palate is medium bodied with crisp tannin, very focused and quite linear, again with plenty of black fruit
