Tasting Note: |
Wine Advocate # 109 (2/1/1997) Rating: 88 points Drink: 2004-2020
A successful wine for Lafite, this dark ruby/purple-colored 1993 is tightly-wound, medium-bodied, with a closed set of aromatics that reluctantly reveal hints of sweet blackcurrant fruit, weedy tobacco, and lead pencil scents. Polished and elegant, with Lafite's noble restraint, this is an excellent, classy, slightly austere wine. - Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (1/31/1996) Score: 86
Very polished and well-crafted black cherry, toast, earth and mineral flavors, all in nice proportions. Medium body, supple tannins. Slightly disappointing for Lafite. Best after 1997. –JS
Chateau Taste:
The wine has an intense color, and a fine and subtle bouquet. This is a fine and balanced wine that will age well.
