Tasting Notes

Tasting from 31.12.2018: Peter Moser

Dark ruby garnet, purple reflections, brightening to the rim. Black fruit, some plum, fine aok savouriness, fine chocolate, smoky minerality. On the palate completely embryonic, restrained, fine savouriness, still seems relatively austere and monolithic, vivid tannins, the fruit is laid on, nuances of fully ripe Cabernet Sauvignon, notes of cassis and blackberries, extracted sweetness, good persistence, certain ageing potential, has not quite reached the first drinking MATURITY. Patience will be rewarded.

Dark ruby, purple reflections. Black fruits, some plum, fine wood savouriness, noble chocolate, smoky minerality. On the palate completely embryonic, restrained, delicate savouriness, still seems relatively strict and monolithic, vivid tannins, the fruit is laid on, nuances of fully ripe Cabernet Sauvignon, notes of cassis and blackberry, fruit expression, good length. Definite ageing potential, has not quite reached its initial peak.

More about the tasting »Bordeaux »Ten years after« «

Dark, opaque, garnet, purple reflections, radiant colour. A multitude of black fruits on the nose, some plum, fine woody spices, fine chocolate, a hint of celery, smoky minerality. Completely embryonic on the palate, in a restrained and withdrawn phase, appears austere and monolithic, pronounced tannins, the fruit is vivid but still sealed today. What is perceptible is the wine's inherent balance, but it will take many years before this great Lafite can be fully appreciated. Ageing 50+ years.
