Tasting notes
Château Lafite Rothschild, from the Médoc region in Bordeaux, is one of those legendary wineries. They craft complex and rich red wines, mainly using Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. This particular bottle carries a piece of history and tradition, and every time you open it, you get a taste of that depth.
In 'The Drops of God', this wine appears in Volume 10. It's likened to Nanami Matsushita by Shizuku, described as a mysterious and beautiful castle standing in the mist, with its gates closed. Initially, it might feel a bit reserved, but as it unfolds, you start to sense its elegance and complexity.
The wine has a deep ruby color, and when you tilt the glass, you’ll notice its impressive viscosity. The aroma is rich with blackberry and cassis, layered with a woody cedar note. On the palate, the tannins are strong and present, yet the lively acidity keeps everything in harmonious balance.
The finish is exceptionally long, leaving the flavors lingering in your mouth long after you’ve swallowed. It's a wine that offers a complex and rich experience, perfect for savoring during special moments. I’d recommend enjoying it with a larger glass to truly appreciate its depth and character.
