The 2022 Lafite-Rothschild bides its time in the glass. Head winemaker Eric Kohler told me that this contains the highest proportion of vin de presse ever at 17%, and the alcohol is 13.6%. The 2022 is initially quite reticent, but after four or five minutes, it unfolds with scents of blackberry, cedar, graphite and a touch of inkwell. Like a few other wines in this vintage, the mineralité only reveals itself later. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-boned tannins, the signature trait of a first-rate Lafite. It is adorned with unerring purity and elegance, very focused with a beguiling symmetry. Quintessentially Lafite Rothschild, this is as precise as a Swiss watch with just the right degree of salinity to keep the saliva flowing on the finish. Just a magnificent First Growth destined to give immense pleasure. (NM)
One of the top First Growths for the vintage! The 2022 is a layered, round wine in the mouth with hints of cassis, spice, tobacco and cedar. Red fruits, long, ripe and integrated tannins. Big wine but comes across as elegant and balanced. A blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot
Extra charges and ancillary fees (for import shipments) may be applied if the shipment to countries oustide the EU.
