I was scared at first. Vintage isn't the best one, tough conditions, rain close to harvest date.
Then I popped it and suddenly That happened. Definitely, Lafite is another breed of wine. I must admit that this is a rather austere Lafite but fruit is there, topical Bordeaux nose, very "Old School". mint, pudding and confit fruit (not dry nor overripe, rather mature I must admit).
Give Bordeaux best properties some bottle age then you understand why all the buzz. Loved it! — 10 years ago

Nice creamy and medium to full-bodied.
No disgorgement date listed but (perhaps just due to my palate) I found this to be better than my last bottle of this cuvée. — 10 years ago

The most fantastic DRC to date! This is legendary, very, very gorgeous, fresh cut lilacs, pure pinot noir perfume, forest floor, acorn, rose essence, hibiscus flower...
Wow! — 10 years ago

Love it. Dry with pepper, cinnamon, long lingering on front back and sides of palate. Date night! — 10 years ago
