Michael Schuster: Dark red; subtle—blackcurrant and mineral to smell; full of elegant promise; firm, fine-boned Lafite, fresh in acidity, freshly ripe red and black fruit in flavor, with marked and most attractive gravel aromas; long, effortlessly harmonious and subtly complex across the palate, excellent persistence. Within its firmer style, this is a fine, classic, long-term, complete Lafite. Needs 12–14 years. 2022–40 18.5
