INTERVIEW AND TASTINGInternational wine critic and Masterclass.com Instructor had a conversation and tasting with Chateau Lafite Rothschild's Technical Director Eric Kohler. The five first growths always set the tone for the overall vintage in Bordeaux, so it was with great anticipation that James tasted the 2019 barrel sample from Chateau Lafite Rothschild. James found the quality of the baby Lafite fantastic, with a stealthy character that slightly hides the superb structure. As James wrote in his first report on the 2019 en primeur, many of the 2019 wines are of the same quality as 2018, albeit with less exuberance and plushness in fruit and tannins. Listen to the podcast to hear Kohler's comments on the vintage, and hear James' first thoughts on the Chateau Lafite Rothschild's 2019 barrel sample.
