  Firm, rustic, and with as much greenery as fruit, the cranberry notes were more present than currants, giving the wine an overall, tart, chewy, austere, old-school character. The wine is typical of the vintage. If this is your thing, you are going to like it much more than I did. It will go a while longer. But the character is never going to change. Drink from 2024-2040.

  Whole Lotta Lafite; 1/26/2024-1/27/2024 (Wine Watch, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida): There is no trace of Lafite elegance in this bruiser of a vintage where the tannins and acidity have outlasted the fruit and from an era in which Lafite was not at the top of the echelon. Orange brown and too acidic and thin. Sometimes these old fashioned Bordeaux can be pleasant to drink but this is not one of them.

  dark red with brown hue. rustic acidity and leather when just opened, breathing in bottle for one hour, clean fruity flavours dominating, even a little sweet, very well mellowed, rose and violet, cedar, herbals, elegant but complex.
  
  Prof Lei opened this, it's his vintage. very enjoyable, lasting nearly one hour, surprisingly vigorous and keep changing, amazing.
  
  Ap 5/5, Ar 13/15, Palate 17/20, Overall 5+5/10
  Total 95/100

  Chateau Lafite 1975.
  Straks 50 år!
  Det merkes ikke.
  Den byr på nydelig på duft med masse rødfrukt intakt fortsatt.
  I tillegg tobakk, lær, krydder og edelt treverk.
  Rent og vakkert med finesse.
  Ultra-smooth i munn.
  Fortsatt livlig og har så masse å by på.
  Konsentrert og fresh.
  Silkeføre hele femmila.
  Holder seg supert i hele kurven.
  Meget lang med pulveriserte tanniner.
  Stor opplevelse. 95p

  Couleur assez sombre entre le brique et plus brun. Arômes de sucre brun, vieux, bois, cuir, mais aussi d’épices et de quelque chose de style « balsamique ». C’est élégant mais puissant en même temps. En bouche c’est une caresse, tout en finesse, mais le vin se tient aussi en ce sens qu’il ne faiblit pas et dure longtemps. Fruits séchés, un peu de notes d’agrumes, de tabac, vieux bois, cuir et finale épicée. S’améliore de minutes en minutes et comme c’est souvent le cas, les dernières gorgées étaient les meilleures. Superbe (93)
