Product details
- The nose is highly aromatic and deeply expressive. It opens with a seductive core of sweet black cherry and cassis, seamlessly integrated with the signature Lafite markers of sweet lead pencil shavings, graphite, and dried violets. As it breathes, complex layers of tobacco, cedar wood, and dried earth begin to emerge.
- The Palate: On the palate, medium-bodied and impeccably balanced, showing tremendous fruit purity and the trademark elegance native to the Pauillac terroir. It possesses a plush, melted texture with beautifully time-softened, polished tannins and fresh acidity.
- The Finish: It concludes with a long, harmonious, and sneaky finish that lingers on notes of seasoned oak, ripe blackberry essence, and mineral graphite.
