This year’s Lafite reminded us of the great wines made in the decade of the 90s with the old Cabernet Sauvignon from the famous gravel plateau making up 96% of the blend (followed by 3% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot.) This is a great Lafite, sweet and luscious in the nose with the smokey, briary, intense flavours of Cabernet followed by a mineral attack and then an undertow of small berries, cedar, oak and a touch of cassis liqueur. There is power and ripeness here but it is held together with a linear vein of acidity and aristocratic tannins which are typical of Lafite. A wine of great balance and elegance with a touch of smoky autumn fruit lingering on the palate. As Jean-Sébastien Philippe told us: “Lafite 2021 is like a guest who appears at a party, as modest and elegant. By the end of the evening, he is surrounded by all the guests.” A lovely way to sum up the appeal of one of the most successful wines of 2021. Max. 12 btls.
