Wine Advocate #164 (4/2006) Rating：93 Drink：2006-2021
A serious red, it is sexy, opulent, rich, and luscious with silky tannin, enormous body, and wave after wave of mocha-infused black cherry and cassis fruit. It is almost too good to be believed. While drinkable now, it should evolve for 12-15 years or longer.- Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (3/31/2006) Score: 89
Aromas of sweet tobacco, berry and chocolate follow through to a full-bodied palate, with silky tannins and a medium finish. Slightly hollow midpalate but very nicely done. Second wine of Lafite. Best after 2007. 20,000 cases made. –JS
Decanter Rating：
Fresh, lifted, perfumed nose. Attractive palate with buoyant berry fruit and acidity. Good harmony with ripe tannins. Long length and delicate. Very good value. Drink up to 2010. |
