Deep ruby in color, almost purple; cherries, black plum, and slate on the nose; medium acidity, medium plus tannins; tastes like black cherries, graphite, wet gravel, and a hint of eucalyptus with a long peppery finish. Tastes like Bordeaux. Lots of minerals, restrained fruit. It's pretty good. — 2 months ago

Very drinkable. Quite lovely blend of smooth, rich flavors. Let it air a bit before consuming. — 20 days ago
2005 vintage. Wowzers. Never been the biggest Lafite guy. Have had all the big vintages since/including 1961 but never been officially “wowed” or wowzered by Lafite. Achievement unlocked. Decanted and tasted after 2.5 hours. Threw a pretty respectable amount of sed. Cork was pristine. Nose was slightly more forward upon a high decant than usual. Light-medium body. Great, underlying richness flowing through from start to finish. An incredible 45 second denouement. Showing fantastically currently but no rush to crush. This ain’t goin nowhere. 11.5.23. — a month ago

Still remarkably youthful, it’s rich, dense and dark fruited, layered with classicism of cigar box, cedar and spices. The palate is concentrated and powerful with a silky texture and incredible length. 95 is nowhere near its peak. Many more years to go. And while I’ll never be a real Bordeaux lover, it’s clear what makes these first growths special. — 13 days ago
