March 2, 2024 - Drank it along side 1983 Latour.
Decanted both wine at 1 hour, Lafite nose is impressive, with notes of flora, mushroom, spices, toast, charr wood. While Latour have notes of forest floor, spices, smoke, toast, slight barnyard.
After 2 hours of decanting. Lafite remain the same. However Latour open up and the slight barnyard had dissipated. And personally felt Latour is the better between two.
Both wine still have long years ahead, can keep. -

February 4, 2024 - Charming, elegant soft, silky, and fresh, this was quite a nice surprise. The fruits are ripe, refined, sweet, and vibrant. Medium-bodied, with a true sense of class and regal character, this is all about its charming style. No decanting needed, just pop pour and enjoy. Drink from 2024-2034.

December 12, 2023 - Salon Ficofi Paris walkabout tasting and dinner, no detailed tasting notes. From Jero, cedar wood, farmyard, relatively light. Mature, drink up.
