September 2, 2021 - An underwhelming vintage. Still a fine wine was crafted.
Loads of Pauillac graphite and savoury earth. Moderate intensity and body, exhibiting some herbaceous and just ripe.blackfruits and it already has some tea, leather and tobacoo notes. Polished and linear but a bit lean and short. Not a showy Lafite at all, on the lighter side. Elegant and complex though. It might just needs time.

April 26, 2018 - This most graceful of the First Growths is brimming with luster, tranquility and refined textures. The wine glides in discreetly, slowly building intensity as it expands on your palate while quietly and effortlessly moving from sweet red fruits to darker plums and cherries. There is a flawless ascendancy here with length, purity of fruit and balance. This is a wine of finesse. Produced from a blend of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3.5% Merlot and .5% Petit Verdot, the wine reached 12.8% alcohol with a pH of 3.75. The Grand Vin represents 40% of the harvest, which took place September 11 to September 29.
