"I make wine at Lafite and Latour, but my heart is at Calon"... I can see why Nicolas Alexandre Marquis de Segur said these iconic words after having this wine in my glass. The nose is so inviting with warm spice, cigar smoke, embers, and toast. Raspberry syrup, plums, vanilla, and toffee on the palate. Nice thread of smoke throughout with nice balancing fresh fruit. What an enjoyable wine! 20 months in new oak - obviously the more accessible style the new owners are going for... the Pinot the other night gave an experience, this one tells a story. — 9 years ago

A beautiful Bordeaux blend that was screaming for a Tuscan t-bone steak to go with it. Unfortunately, no such luck last night. If these are the dregs, a veritable Chateau Lafitte must be phenomenal. — 10 years ago

When drunk side by side with the 2001 Lafite Rothschild this seemed a little past due. The nose is incredible: cigar box, cedar and leather are predominant. The fruit is secondary but appeared more after a half hour. — 9 years ago

I was always puzzled why the short-lived Chinese Lafite fetish extended to Carruades, but not to Duhart-Milon. This was bought not long ago on the cheap and delivers a legitimately Lafite-like experience. A classic Pauillac with the usual cedary aromatics and a pitch-black fruit complexion, even a bit of nuttiness. The texture is slick and glossy and while there is still some tannin here it's mostly smoothed over. Very easy drinkability here and while it may not have the dimensions of Lafite it's got very much the same taste, and even a lot of the elegance. — 11 years ago

The first rung on the ladder, DBR's third label with 80% estate fruit. '12 is drinking perfectly today. Classic whiff of menthol, cigar box, violets with mouth coating cassis intensity and a long, tasty finish. Bravo, Diane Flamand.. — 10 years ago

Everyone on this site knows the flavor profile. However, props to the couple that crushed 2 bottles of Dom and decided to have the Mouton because they had the '96 Lafite weeks ago in Vienna. — 12 years ago
