"Composed of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot, the 2022 Lafite Rothschild is deep garnet-purple in color. The nose is almost impenetrable to start, needing a lot of shaking to wake up delicate scents of crushed red and black currants, raspberry leaves, warm plums, and boysenberries, followed by hints of crushed rocks, damp earth, lilacs, and Jasmine tea, with just a hint of orange peel. The palate is classic great Lafite, featuring incredibly tightly knit layers of black fruits, minerals, and floral notes bound with a rock-solid structure of exquisitely fine, very firm tannins and bold freshness, finishing with epic length and depth. This is an intellectual triumph, but don't think about touching it for 10-15 years." – Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Independent

Grootse wijn, één van de uitblinkers van 2022. Ultieme verfijning., geconcentreerd en toch heel elegant. Bramen, lavendel, viooltjes, rozemarijnbloesem. Mineraal met uiterst precieze zuren. Energiek en opwekkend. Silky textuur. Zeer beperkt!
