In 2019, this is grand Lafite in all its majesty. Highly scented and magically noble, the great dimension on the palate is pure Lafite, the elegance masking the power of both the property and the vintage. We drank it with the Margaux 1986 and there were similarities in the black fruit depth of both wines. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 100 8370:12 bts (owc) 8371:12 bts (2 wc)Estimates are per lot
