Michael Broadbent
The best had a good level and a deeply coloured, velvety-ended cork. Bouquet with the fragrance that only Lafite can exude. Lovely flavour, lean, good lenght. A jolly good drink.

 My God, this is a wonderful mature Lafite. Served blind chez Rosemary George MW it has a definable Pauillac nose with subtle notes of cedar, sous-bois and a touch of dried blood. It has incredible harmony and purity – a bouquet that has you instantly captivated. The palate does not disappoint: a beguiling sense of natural harmony and delineation, not the weight of Latour nor the femininity of Margaux, but a Lafite aiming for understated sophistication. Delicate cedar and cigar box towards the finish that just goes on and on. This bottle vindicates my first encounter in Bordeaux, when it similarly bewitched its audience. Absolutely sublime. A point.

Medium ruby garnet with orange highlights and broader rim brightening. Inviting coffee notes on the nose, delicate hints of milk caramel, sweet cherry fruit, nuances of orange zest, hints of white truffles, some cedar. On the palate fine red berry fruit, chocolaty touch, carried by the fresh acidity structure typical of the vintage, nuances of dried plums, some dark chocolate on the finish, multi-faceted aromatics, sticks well, increases very well in the glass. But beware, from single bottles the wine already shows clearly aged! ! Drink
