Yes, I see the wine list and found the photos now. Thank you!
I now know that what we had was definately:
2009 Baron Philippe de Rothschild “Baron Nathaniel” Pauillac
Also I found a good review of it.

I will inform ourrestaurant group that although it a fine French wine,
it was not what we had originally thought.

Like Mark can't see the image
Unless you paid a LOT of money, it's not Ch. Lafite Rothschild

A look at restaurant website shows a wine list that has 2
possibilities:
http://angelineantigua.com/menu/wine-list/

Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte, Pessac-Léognan, 1998
No Rothschild connection

Baron Nathaniel, Baron Philippe De Rothschild, Pauillac, 2009
The Baron Philipe branch of the family makes Mouton, not Lafite. I
think the Baron Nathaniel is basically a "third wine", Pauillac from
barrels that didn't make the cut for Mouton or their other wine
Clerc-Milon or their respective seconds. Probably mostly sold to
restaurant trade

If you go to cellartracker.com lots of photos.
