Chateau Lafite Rothschild, Pauillac, France 2009 La Croix de Beaucaillou within the Alto Adige areaThis is what the Medoc is all about. The freshness and delicacy of this wine in combination with its serious concentration and firm core are totally stunning. Time has already worked its magic and this is already delicious, but has decades in front of it. 100 Pts James Suckling
