2020 Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac has following scores - James Suckling 100, Wine Enthusiast 100, Jeb Dunnuck 100. 2020 Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac has the score of 97 from Robert Parker and the tasting note -The 2020 Lafite Rothschild opens in the glass with a deep bouquet of cassis, black truffle, pencil shavings and violets. Full-bodied, fleshy and layered, its broad attack segues into an ample core of fruit framed by supple, melting tannins. Seamless, layered and complete, it's richer and deeper pitched than the 2019, and its notably high pH of 3.94 likely means it will never shut down. It's a blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot, incorporating just a touch more Merlot from the plateau of Carruades than the 2019.
