Tasting Notes
Dark, vibrant ruby-garnet in colour with purple reflections and a touch of rim brightening. A slightly restrained nose shows aromas of dried plums, spices and cherries, with some chocolate caramel underlaid with a hint of graphite and cedar wood. Fine plum jam to the fore on the palate, which is balanced and highly elegant - this is a wine full of charm that has reached perfect drinking maturity. The impression is fresh and seductive, a timeless Lafite classic that has not a gram of fat too much on its bones. Drink/store +25.
