  Tout comme Figeac regoûté ce we,ce 88 a révélé les mêmes saveurs que la dernière fois.Véritablement pas de différence notable par rapport à mon commentaire précédent.Toujours les mêmes arômes de cassis,réglisse,menthol,café...Toujours la même élégance,le même raffinement et le léger manque de peps pour toucher au sublime.

  Decanted for 3 hours. Showing beautiful with notes of tobacco, toast, earth, leather, spices. Medium+ acidity and medium+ tannin. At its peak and still have long way ahead.

  Proving leopards can change their spots to some extent, while still on the firm side, some of its previous austere character has abated. Now, you find a charming, though firm, strict, medium-bodied, crisp, chewy wine with an herbal edge. Classic in nature, but in a good way. Drink from 2024-2048.

  Whole Lotta Lafite; 1/26/2024-1/27/2024 (Wine Watch, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida): This Lafite did not taste of the austerity for which this vintage is famous. Actually surprising hints of sweetness which along with cassis, tobacco and dirt make for an interesting drink. But only medium intensity at best and seems older than it is.

  Ripe backbone despite the maturity and tertiary. Really well balanced. Delicious, precise, and elegant.
