The 2009 Château Lafitte Marcellin offers up ripe dark plums, cassis, spices, tobacco and tar, which come through right away on the nose. This is medium to full-bodied with a soft texture supported by fine-grained tannins, which grip tight on the finish. 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot. (Best 2013-2018) - August, 2012 (JD)
