109 Château Lafite Rothschild, Pauillac (L)
“In bottle, the 2022 Lafite Rothschild has turned out even better than I anticipated. Wafting from the glass with aromas of sweet red berries, minty blackcurrants, violets and cigar box, it’s medium to full-bodied, velvety and suave, with a deep, enveloping core of lively fruit, beautifully refined tannins, and a long, perfumed finish. Even at this early stage, it’s remarkably integrated and harmonious, and it’s certainly the most elegant of the first growths this year, reminding me of a modern-day version of Lafite’s magical 1953.” 100 pts, William Kelley, Wine Advocate 353659 6 bottle limit $1,800
