    December 7, 2022 - Start to open up after 2.5 hours. Before it opened up, the nose has a distinct woody and old drawer smell. After a few hours in the decanter, it came around and I found it balanced and rich. nose is still distinct, but some smokiness, berries, pepper, and a bit funky. Full tanins, and long finish. Well made for a tough year!

    November 15, 2022 - 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot

    Lighter orangish red, transparent, compact rim. Looks quite young and brilliant.

    The strength of this wine is all in its bouquet. It screams Pauillac. Lots of fresh blackcurrant, red cherry, smoky tobacco leaves, gunpower, slight greenish stems, black pepper, with a little funkiness to keep it multidimensional.

    Palate is still quite tannic but tannin is definitely fading. Medium body, dry. Again the same fruit profiles carry over. Noticeable pencil lead, graphite, rocky mineral characters. More of those fresh, leafy undertones. Finish is a little short (for a Lafite) which is in keeping with the vintage.

    A 2007 Lafite is still a Lafite. This one is ready to go. Peaking right now after 15 years. Superb classic Pauillac that shines in a lesser year. It also has the stuffing to stay at the plateau for a while longer yet. Now - 2032.

    January 30, 2022 - 醒酒三个小时,闻香有雪松,石墨,醋栗和奶油味,入口酸度漂亮,酒液咸,有矿物感,收口甜美,单宁紧致,有些抓口,颗粒细腻,口中是香草奶油,石墨,青椒混合着黑醋栗的香气,余味有香料味混合着,奶油,香草,和一些木质气息。年轻而又甜美的一支酒,风格更加现代,依然不变的是拉菲式的优雅。

    Open up very well after 3 hours. Berries and plum. Very enjoyable.

    May 3, 2020 - Just had to open on this beautiful first Sunday in May 2020. Last bottle.

    Classic aromatics of a left bank mature Pomeral. Where do I start ?
    The wine has a sweetness amidst its left bank aromatics. Simply classic. On the palette it is a powerful wine with depth. I have read about the difficult vintage of2007 but I must say this is awesome. It is a standard and a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot.
