A truly memorable experience with Lafite. Almost felt like being at a F1 race with all the cars running. The nose of this wine is something else. Almost to the point I simply wanted to smell the wine and not taste it. Hard to describe the flavours but this is Lafite at near its best IMO. Paired it with rack of lamb and elf.
Fantastic! Pour and decanted for 3 hours. Tannins very soft. Balanced on the palate and packed with bold red fruits and earthy notes. Cedar, pencil lead, tobacco. This was pretty much as good as it gets.

An excellent bottle from the chateau. Earthy with very smooth and silky tannins. Paired with some striploin. Notes of leather and light fruits.
