Product Description
VM96 "The palate is medium-bodied with those same pliant tannins that lend this First Growth such fluidity. This is not powerful - it is Lafite not Latour - but it is beautifully balanced with hints of black truffle and pencil shavings towards the finish." NM for VM Jun 2025
JS96 "This is so beautiful now and exhibits real aged-Bordeaux character with currant-bush, tobacco and berry aromas that follow through to a medium body with firm tannins and a creamy finish. Still so together. The finish turns to cigar box, sandalwood and berry." JS Jun 2021
