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 Completely embryonic on the palate, in a restrained and withdrawn phase, appears austere and monolithic, pronounced tannins, the fruit is vivid but still sealed today.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.
