Classic. Just classic on the color and nose. On the palate it has finer tannins, lifted acidity, and a long, polished finish that lingers on cassis and earth. One of the oldest Lafite’s I’ve tasted and feels like in last another couple of decades. Easy. — 4 days ago

Beautifully light and lifted. Salinity and piercing delicate citrus. Wet stone and persistent light but powerful mid palate. Fantastic. Young. — 5 months ago

The 2022 Pinot Noir Dundee Hills wafts up a delicately spicy blend of dusty black cherries, ground cloves and dried roses. It is round and supple yet lifted in feel, with crisp red berry fruits elevated by a core of zesty acidity as hints of sour citrus add cheek-puckering tension. This tapers off long and perfumed with a bed of crunchy tannins that frames the experience remarkably well. I would never guess that the 2022 hails from a warm vintage.

Gorgeous expression of Nebbiolo: deep ruby but not opaque, feminine nose of florals and red fruit, tar, white pepper, exotic spices, herbaceous w/lifted - hi toned notes, med bodied, caressing subtle tannins and impressively integrated acidity. Evolving, complex, cerebral, this was my fave out of lineup of 6 — 5 months ago

Intensely lifted, fresh, and concentrated and showing incredible youth at nearly a decade in bottle. Perfectly ripe blackberries and black cherries are enveloped by aromas and flavors of fresh ground coffee, wet fall leaves, leather, menthol, and vanilla. The wine finishes long and with a crave-worthy mineral/graphite finish. This can cellar for years to come but is excellent now with herb-roasted lamb chops or grilled steak tips. Delicious! — 2 years ago
