On the nose attractive fine oak notes, red cherry, cassis, fine floral components and a hint of exotic spice. The palate is full- bodied, with fine fruit, silky tannins, a hint of nougat, very good freshness, perfectly balanced with cherry and saline nuances on the very long finish, incredibly seductive and inviting, with guaranteed ageing potential.

The wine is pure silky, elegance in texture. This is perhaps the most sensuous vintage of Lafite ever produced with its dream texture on the palate. In the mid-palate, the wine shifts from black to red to black fruits before moving to its wave of orange citrus, ending with refreshing mint notes. The purity in the fruits is striking. The over 60-second finish is seamless, which is a good thing, because this wine is so good, you never want it to end. The wine is complete from start to finish." – 8 - 100 Point Perfect Scores!!!

Next, it it’s the perfume with its black, blue, and red fruits, incense, curry, flowers, smoke and herbs. Opulent, restrained, elegant and powerful, the wine comes in layers. You can sense the array of exotic spices, mint, blue and black fruits, crushed rocks, black cherries and white pepper on the palate. Full-bodied and dense, the wine somehow remains light on its feet. The end notes, meshing elegance and power bring everything together, as the finish crosses the 60 second mark. This is perhaps even better than the perfect, 2016!" – Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider - Tasted: May 2023

The succulent, rich and seductively textured middleweight flavors posses evident minerality and focused power while delivering even better depths and persistence on the lightly austere and beautifully balanced finale. this is lovely and a wine that should also age gracefully." – Winery Notes

The delicious and even more mineral-driven medium weight flavors posses excellent volume along with ample punch and power that carries over to the youthfully austere and sneaky long finale.

The exceptionally rich and opulent flavors are dense to the point of being almost viscous yet the bright acidity and minerality give the lingering finish sufficient lift to save the balance." – Winery Notes
