Apricot & honey on the nose, body creamy & rich with good mouthfeel and long finish with a note of hazelnut at the very end. This 10 year old held up extremely well — a month ago

Outstanding producer and another 2022 that doesn’t disappoint.

Beautiful viscosity, lush, heather honey, lemon, lime, green apple, pineapple, white stone fruit, tropical melons, saline/sea spray, white spice, moist, chalky powder, limestone, butterscotch toffee, caramel, excellent acidity and round, lush, very balanced, elegant finish that last two-minutes and lands on spice and soft minerality.

Worth every bit of the $49 I paid and then some.

Drinking well. A bit of fading fruit but a toasted herbaceous and forest floor now shines through. 14.5% ABV. — 3 months ago

Great everyday drinking wine especially for the price. A little bit of a dry finish. — 5 months ago

Super crisp layers of green apple and citrus and some hints of surrounding some fig and tropical fruits. Very long finish and super well integrated oak. — 2 years 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. — 3 months ago
