  "91 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 9 % Merlot. (Der Cabernet Franc und der Petit Verdot wurden deklassiert). Sattes Purpur- Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Das Bouquet zeigt eine wunderbare, delikate und auch berauschende Süsse: Karamell, Sandelholz, kandierte Früchte. Im zweiten Ansatz zeigt er ein parfümiertes Damassine-Pflaumenspiel und feinste Noten von frischem Thymian, Minze und getrockneten Küchenkräutern. Im Gaumen nonchalant, mit einer sehr reichen und gleichzeitig ganz feinen Adstringenz. Die Balance ist royal, alles ist am richtigen Ort. Ein tänzerischer, schier verspielter Lafite. Und genau das darf er manchmal auch. Das wird eine ziemlich ähnliche Delikatesse wie es der 1953er in seinen allerbesten Zeiten war."

  "This is a great vintage from Lafite. The profile is rich in feel, with a seriously firm tannic structure. Solid, complex and with great authority, this Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant wine is impressively dense in dark-fruit tones. It will age for many years. Drink from 2027, although that would almost be too soon."

  "Firm and powerful with blackberries, blueberries, currants and wet earth. Full-bodied, yet tight and angular with very pretty fruit and brightness. Really racy and super and set for a long, long life. Better after 2025. Reviewed in Hong Kong Chinese Wine Tasting July 2020."

  "A softly fragrant Lafite that is delicate and finessed, hiding its concentration under a slow build through the palate. Fragrant, lace like tannins, cassis, bilberry, crayon, cigar box, showcases the way to weave through this ripe vintage while holding on to signature nuance. This is a Lafite that will grow into gulpable drinkability with another decade in bottle, and is already gorgeous, pure estate signature. If you are looking for a 2015 that is exuberant and overripe, look elsewhere."

  "The power in this vintage of Lafite is hidden, but it is there in spades and tiptoes up along the palate. Lovely brushed tannins are extremely well placed, discreetly holding the fruit. In many ways this is a truly classic Lafite because it is understated and lyrical. It's a wine that demands you know Lafite to see just how beautifully it will develop, says winemaker Eric Kohler. 40% of overall estate production. 100% new oak. Bottled early June 2017. Drinking Window 2025 - 2045."

  "Lafite Rothschild is not a wine to imbibe in its youth. As a youngster, all the elements are there, the intense purity of fruit, the impossibly, silky textures, freshness that gives lift without ever feeling acidic. In fact, the qualities and character as it builds in intensity, volume and length. Like all great vintages of Lafite, this is going to take time, at least 15-20 or more years to deliver its experience at its best."
