  Hello everyone. I have almost completed my tastings of the 2021 in bottles. There will be no more big surprises (Petrus not tasted). Basically, even if this vintage is not at the level of 2016, 18, 19, 20 and 22. To my taste it is very often superior to 2014 and 2017 in any case. It is very particular with enormous finesse and above all a precision in defining each terroir that is rarely achieved. A school model if you want to introduce your future alcoholic children. And for old people like me :O), the advantage is that it will be drinkable much faster than its elders. Since I'm swamped with work these days, I only put my best notes. For a rating of a particular wine, do not hesitate to write to me;
  
  1 Lafleur 98-99
  2 Carmes H-B 98
  3 Haut-Brion, Cheval Blanc, Vieux Certan, Margaux, Lafite 97
  4 Montrose, Las Cases, Le Pin 96-97
  
  And finally the Oscar for best value for money
  
  Laroque 94-95

  (96-98 vvPunkte) Leuchtendes Rubin. Die Nase ist subtil, tiefgründig, anfangs sehr zurückhaltend, braucht etwas Zeit, öffnet sich mit jeder Minute, wird immer floraler, ein nobles Parfüm, in keiner Form aufdringlich, jedoch mit grosser Komplexität, mineralischen Anklängen und eher hellen Frucht. Der Gaumen ist gradlinig und schlank, was für eine Präzision, der Wein hat viel Struktur, zeigt Rasse und Finesse, hochelegant, mit feinkörnigen, noch jugendlichen Tanninen und einer messerscharfen Säure, die Frucht ist knackig, auf den Punkt gereift, hallt im Abgang lange nach. Das ist ein tänzerischer, feingliedriger Lafite, sehr klassisch! 2030-2055+ (Verkostet "En Primeur" im April 2022. Château Lafite Rothschild) vvWine.ch

  Flowers, blackberries, charcoal, cigar box, black currants, spice, cedar, graphite and tobacco come through on the nose with a bit of coaxing. On the palate, the wine offers a pure expression of red fruits, black cherries, spice and a touch of orange rind, along with boysenberry, licorice and red plums on the backend. This is an elegant, regal, classic style of Lafite Rothschild that will age and evolve quite well. The wine is complete from start to finish and was produced from blending 96% Cabernet Sauvignon. 3% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot. 12.6% ABV, 3.9 pH. Drink from 2032-2060. 96-98
