Wine Advocate # 158 (4/1/2005) Rating: 92-95 points Drink: 2010-2030
Only 40% of the crop made it into the 2004 grand vin, which is the antithesis of the opulent, powerful, concentrated 2003. The linear, elegant 2004 is a classic Lafite, revealing cassis, raspberry, graphite, and new earth-like characteristics. With terrific concentration, medium body, fresh acidity, and a vibrant, stylish taste, this blend of 90.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, and 0.5% Petit Verdot.- Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (3/30/2005) Score: 92-94
Extremely pretty sweet tobacco, currant and hints of oak follow through to full-bodied palate, with fine tannins and a long, long finish. Really refined and long. You have to like this Lafite. -- J.S.
Decanter Rating:
Ripe cassis, hint of plum skins. Solid, well made, good integration of oak. Tannins ripe and not at all intrusive. Quite long, fine, lovely. Drink 2012/13-18. |
