JAMES SUCKLING: "Rather ethereal and so refined with finesse, focus and brightness that provides incredible energy and pedigree. It's full-bodied with ultra fine tannins that go on and on. Superb presence with tannins that melt into the wine. This is 12.8%. I love the wine. Lots of dark fruit and fresh tobacco. Lead pencil, too. 92% cabernet sauvignon, 7% merlot and 1% petit verdot."

ROBERT PARKER - THE WINE ADVOCATE: "Displaying a deep purple-black color, the 2020 Lafite Rothschild takes a little swirling and coaxing to unlock scents of freshly crushed blackcurrants, boysenberries and spiced plums, followed by emerging nuances of red roses, raspberry preserves, underbrush and unsmoked cigars, with a waft of cedar chest. The medium-bodied palate is an exercise in elegance and finesse, featuring tightly wound layers of red and black berries and loads of mineral sparks, framed by finely grained tannins and well-poised tension, finishing with fantastic length and the most stunning perfume. Magnificent achievement. This 2020 is a blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot, coming in at 12.8% alcohol and a pH of 3.9." - Lisa Perrotti-Brown

FALSTAFF: "Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Ockerrandaufhellung. Mit feiner Edelholznote unterlegte schwarze Beeren, tabakiger Touch, Nuancen von Lakritze, reife Johannisbeeren, zart nach Trockengewürzen und Ingwer. Stoffig, reife rote Herzkirschen, etwas Cassis, frischer Säurebogen, gut eingebaute, reife Tannine, saliner Terroirtouch im Abgang, wirkt leichtfüßig und dabei sehr lange anhaftend, ein eleganter Lafite mit großer Entwicklungsperspektive." - Peter Moser
