Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2023 Cahors Rated 98 points by JamesAbout the wine A refined and classically styled vintage that emphasizes precision and structure over opulence. It reveals layered aromas of cassis, blackberry, violet, and graphite, with subtle hints of mint and cedar. On the palate, it is dense yet elegant, with fine grained tannins, vibrant freshness, and a mineral driven core. The finish is long, complex, and tightly wound, indicating outstanding aging potentialthis is a cerebral, age worthy Lafite
