5/2/21 Tasting group. My 6th, group 4th. Tad green. Caspicum. Green follows through in the flavors.

Such a classy nose of well structured, fresh black fruits led by blackcurrant & cassis interlaced with cedar and a light graphite core that should show more as this ages. Palate is tightly packed but beautifully tailored, firm and impactful but with fine tannin and a deftness of touch. Quite haunting red & black fruits hang on a great length. Incredibly classy stuff though not showy, old money.

"Classic Lafite" aromas, but a bit tightly wound tonight. Needs much more time in the cellar or a long decant.

Head Sommelier The Savoy, London

An average vintage but the Lafite keeps its promise to deliver a top first cru quality.. To be drunk now. Although a light balanced style with the fruit and savory notes equal. More of a grand cru burgundy burgundy finesse. We sell at £1500

Great night! No survivors! They dedicated their beautiful wine lives before their time, thus allowing the 2000s to live on!

Probably the most expensive bottles of wine I've ever tasted at $750 a bottle. 1995 Lafite-Rothschild, Pauillac. First Growth!
