95 Points
Wednesday, May 4, 2022 - Lafite Rothschild vertical (Taberna del Alabardero, Washington D.C.): Beautifully mature nose displaying perfectly ripe red fruit with a hint of black, strawberry jam, plum, a hint of cassis, lead pencil, strong cedar and earth. Perfectly integrated palate, subtle sweet red fruit, silky, elegant and polished, perfect amount of acidity and mineral, and a long sweet red fruit driven finish with lead pencil at the end. This is the most elegant Lafite of the night that demonstrates the beauty of the 01 vintage. Drinking beautifully.
