A very compact and linear Lafite with a fantastic mouthfeel of intense but ever so refined tannins that draw a straight line through the middle of the wine. It’s full-bodied yet compact with complex character of plums, blackcurrants, cigar tobacco, cedar and hints of hazelnuts and coffee. Salty. Orange zest at the end. Delicacy with power. Richness with softness. Glamorous. Lasts for minutes at the finish.

91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8.5% Merlot, 0.5% Petit Verdot Deep colour. Intense dark cherry cassis aronaswiry cedar notes. Very concentrated wine with deep set blackcurrant blackberry flavours, plentiful cedar tannins and marked long acidity. Very precise wine with linear structure and pure fruit expression. but Surprisingly restrained for Lafite. Maybe a root day.
