Château Lafite Rothschild 2023 750ml

The nose, already open and filled with fresh fruit dominated by raspberry, is delicately lifted by notes of white pepper. What strikes us beyond the whole palette of red fruits that unfolds after aeration is the warm, Provençal market atmosphere, with spices taking center stage. The attack is direct, and fine, elegant tannins gently lead us toward a silky finish. This finish is long, carried by lovely bitters that make the mouth water and entice us to bring the glass back to our lips for another sip. It is at this moment that the full complexity of the wine reveals itself. Our first impressions are enriched by a myriad of nuances we had not immediately perceived, which confer upon this 2023 the complexity, finesse, and elegance of a great Lafite.
