Wine Spectator

A great vintage for Lafite, a first growth that lives up to its billing, exceeded in this vintage only by Latour. Unusually concentrated and long on the finish, this one ups the ante and the usually restrained character of young Lafite and makes it almost lush and polished, echoing minty plum and cassis flavors for minutes.

Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate

The wine possesses excellent riches, a hint of the unmistakable Lafite perfume of minerals, cedar, lead pencil, and red fruits, medium to full body, moderate weight, admirable richness and overall balance.
