Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast – 96pts
The Wine Shows The Power Typical Of A Lafite But Within The Context Of The Fruity 2011 Vintage. The Immensely Dense Tannic Structure Gives The Wine A Solid Feel That Is Lifted By So Much Ripe Black Currant And Berry Fruits. At The Back, The Wine Has A More Brooding, Dark Character That Suggests Great Aging Potential. Drink This Wine From 2019.

This Delivers Pronounced Tobacco And Bay Leaf Notes Up Front, With A Core Of Steeped Plum And Currant Fruit And A Fleshy Edge Through The Charcoal-Lined Finish. There’s Some Serious Buried Minerality, Which Should Emerge With Cellaring.

Love The Nose On This, With Sweet Tobacco, Delicate Currant, Cedar And Blackberry. Full Body With Integrated Tannins And A Juicy, Fruity, Subtle Finish. The Texture To This Wine Is Beautiful.
