The wine shows the power typical of a Lafite but within the context of the fruity 2011 vintage. The immensely dense tannic structure gives the wine a solid feel that is lifted by so much ripe black…

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…

2003 was one of the hottest, earliest Bordeaux vintages ever. Some vines suffered from lack of moisture, but old vines and clay subsoil at Enclos saw this vineyard through. The Merlot harvest…

100 De / 100 Ja / 100 Wa / 100 JS / 100 We / 99+ Wa / 98 Rp / 97 Fs / 19 Jr. This vintage featured a cold winter and cool weather at flowering, followed by a dry summer with a hot July and warm…
