95 Points

Friday, November 24, 2023 - **A creamy nose floats off the top of this, filled with raspberry and earth. The wine has a sensational bouquet and for me, the evolution is advanced for a big wine like the big daddy Rothschild. Dont confuse that with freshness, because the wine is totally fresh, deep and saturated, with a beautiful garnet evolution. Liquid pencil dominated the senses as the wine warmed and woke up, followed with more stealthy raspberry and gentle earthy notes intermingled with violets. Really soft and elegant and definitely walking in its own bright light at 20 years old. The finish was not as long as I can remember or expect from a wine like this, so a reduction in score...Otherwise, a lovely elegant Lafite. Drink or hold
