Dating back to 1234, this First Growth has long been favored by royalty and connoisseurs alike. It is a wine defined not by brute force, but by its extraordinary complexity and \"lead-pencil\" graphite signature. Grown on deep gravel ridges, Lafite is legendary for its ability to age for over half a century, slowly evolving into a tapestry of cedar and dark fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eTasting Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eAcross all vintages, Lafite is recognized by its signature aromatic profile:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eAroma:\u003c\/b\u003e A sophisticated \"Lafite perfume\" of pencil shavings (graphite), cedar wood, violets, and deep blackcurrant (cassis).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePalate:\u003c\/b\u003e Remarkable for its \"airy\" concentration—it is intense but never heavy.
