Medium-bodied, with a pale ruby hue, the nose offered up its blend of tobacco, cedar, leather, cherry pipe smoke and spice box array with little effort. Elegant, regal and finesse driven, the sweetness in the bright red fruits paired with a touch of flint showed nicely on the palate and in the endnote.

At the Lafite Vertical Dinner, Amuse Bouche Hong Kong - A seductive smoky nose on this wine that compliments the extremely pleasant sweetness that great mature Bordeaux can achieve. The length on the finish suggests that this wine may still have quite some years left in it. Excellent!

Whole Lotta Lafite; 1/26/2024-1/27/2024 (Wine Watch, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida): Tea color. Smells like rain water. Did not survive. Most tasters thought it was corked or otherwise spoiled.

NM Lafite. Stunning old Bordeaux. Too mushroomy for my taste, but indisputably clear, fresh, elegant and long.

Flawed!! Very light tea color. Ethyl acetate…nail polish and vinegar. Depressing…Substituted with the 1959 which was amazing. ....
