See the timeline"The 2005 Château Lafite-Rothschild offers a graphite and pencil box bouquet that unfolds gradually in the glass, taking its time, graceful but without intensity. Like some of its peers from the 2005 vintage, it develops a few more spicy notes, notably thyme and sage, than I remember. The palate is medium-bodied and beautifully balanced; it is indeed a sophisticated Pauillac that favors elegance and balance over fruit intensity, in keeping with the Lafite-Rothschild style. One gets the impression that it will take its time to blossom, revealing its full potential at maturity, even if it remains more accessible than the 2005 Latour, for example. I would therefore be inclined to let it rest for several more years." - Neal Martin, July 2016
