Chateau Anseillan 2018

This is a semi-new wine from Lafite Rothschild. The last time the name was used by Lafite was back in 1991. The wine emanates from a specific parcel in the Lafite vineyard, making it its own, unique wine.

With little effort, you find flowers, herbs, tobacco leaf, and spicy currants. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, bright, crisp, and chewy, with a touch of crunch to the sweet, ripe, soft red currants, and green, earthy olives on the mid-palate and in the finish. This is a mini, mini version of Lafite Rothschild, so you get a nice wine with true Pauillac character and the best part is, the wine sells for a song.
