Deep ruby-purple in appearance. A brooding nose of cassis, blackberry, and dark plums, followed up by crushed graphite, mint, cedar pencil, and a hint of dark chocolate. The palate is full-bodied and statuesque yet supple, held together by firm, heavy tannins (7.5/10) and lively acidity. Layers of ripe black fruits, mocha, and sage are mixed with roasted earth and savory oak spice. The finish is long, plush, and persistent, marked by seamless texture, crushed stone minerality, and a lingering floral lift. Drink till 2050. — 17 days ago

The nose bursts with ripe yellow peach, mandarin, and dried pineapple, layered with brioche and a hint of white flowers. The palate is plush yet electric, with creamy texture quickly cut by vibrant lemon zest and a light salinity. The finish is precise and long. — 5 months ago

9.6

Slightly lighter ruby with a wider ruby garnet rim . More reserved and cooler , more elegant , spicier fruits than the Mouton , less plush. Cassis , violet , blackberry , red cherry , roasted red pepper , grafite and oyster shell . Quite detailed and mineral. On the palate this is finer boned and elegant with refreshing acidity , cassis , tobacco , grafite and that briny , sea shell note . Saline and very fine , but also very noticable tannins on the palate , long grafite , tobacco , cassis tinged finish . This comes across as very classic Lafite , with drier , cooler fruit; more introvert than the extrovert Mouton. It doesn’t shout, there is no need , its refinement and pedigree are clear to all. Still young but beginning to show some development, better in 5-10 years and will last well another 10-20 , and being Lafite , perhaps even longer . As an aside this was paired with seared duck breast , port wine sauce and roasted figs , a combination that really worked with the wine , it was just a fantastic combination. — a year ago
