Estimate
Wonderfrul berry and tobacco character, with chocolate and cedar. Full-bodied, elegant and silky.Beautifully long. This is always outstanding..
...quite a bit of tannin on the finish. But then it really mellowed in the glass and became super voluptuous. And fragrant. But edgier than the 1997. Unusually spicy for Lafite and wonderfully persistent...
This medium ruby-colored, medium-bodied wine reveals new oak in the nose, and a spicy finish. It is a quintessentially elegant, restrained, understated style of Lafite.
...very rich, impenetrable depth and concentration... sweeter, richer, more fragrant...gloriously fragrant, tea-like.
