with fabulous balance and depth

The wine is ripe

In the nose fine green summer apple

Sweet notes of plum

Its richness needs time to develop and turn into the classically structured wine that this estate does so well

Chateau Lafite Rothschild, Pauillac, France 2000 Champagne Francis Orban with fabulous balance and depthThe nose is fresh, bright, and dense. With aromas of violets, minerals, spices, cool stones, mint, dark fruits, and plum skins, this is beautiful. Very much still a baby right now, it needs much more time. This is a wine for the next generation. Finesse and elegance, truly a wine that makes you contemplate life. This is not about power, there is really nothing like it. 93% Cabernet Sauvignon. 100 Pts James Suckling
