Estimate
Fruity, deep and firm, filled with plum and cherry, backed by youthful, stiff tannins.
The bouquet offers up notes of cassis, soggy tobacco, orange zest, a bit of grilled meat, dusty soil tones and cedar... On the palate the wine is medium-full and elegant on the attack, with moderate depth, but good intensity of flavor, and now a bit of structural delicacy adding fragility today on the backend.
...still deep, rich, lovely; distinctly good, distinctly Lafite...opened up fragrantly...
