2021 Chateau Lafite Rothschild Premier Cru Classe, Pauillac 1x750ml

Vinous 97

The 2021 Lafite-Rothschild is every bit as exceptional as it was from barrel. The high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon comes through loud and clear. All the elements are so well balanced. The 2021 is dark, racy and full of Lafite sensuality, all kicked up by the natural intensity of the year. Dark red/purplish fruit, mint, lavender and rose petal are all on display. It s not a showy wine, and it will need quite a bit of time to fully reveal its charms. [Antonio Galloni, 27/02/2024]
