The 2023 Lafite-Rothschild, which was bottled in July, is a very succinct First Growth and politely declines to sprint out of the blocks. That is Lafite's style. But these aromas unfurl with each swirl of the glass: very pure black cherries and light blueberry fruit, violet petal, hints of humidor in the background. Superb delineation. The palate boasts exquisite balance, chiseled tannins, fresh and saline, very focused with a judicious touch of cracked black pepper toward the prolonged finish. Just an outstanding Lafite-Rothschild that will vie against the '22.

Very perfumed, with currants, orange peel, strawberries, cedar and lead pencil. Medium-bodied, with ultrafine tannins that are completely integrated into the wine, giving a graceful and seductive finish. Weightless. It's so long and caressing, making you smile with each sip. A joyful young Lafite. 93% cabernet sauvignon, 6% merlot and 1% petit verdot. Best after 2028 but so beautiful now.

Extrême finesse aromatique, corps excellent, intégration harmonieuse et immédiate du boisé. Un des sommets du millésime.

Der Cabernet Sauvignon ist perfekt gereift, weshalb sein Anteil in der Cuvée von Carruades immer höher wird. Das Bouquet unterstreicht die Frische mit roten Beeren und einem Hauch von Süßholz. Eleganz zieht sich wie ein roter Faden durch den Carruades, denn schon beim ersten Duft kündigt der Wein Finesse an, die sich bis zum Finale hin konsequent fortsetzt. Dabei kann der Wein auf die wertvolle Unterstützung kräftiger Tannine zählen, die diskret, aber effektiv gemeinsam mit der Säurestruktur im Hintergrund agieren. Ein saftiger Wein, den man sicher jung genießen kann... und auch weniger jung!

The 2023 Château Lafite-Rothschild is based on 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot, resting in 90% new French oak, with the balance in once-used barrels. It's another deeply hued barrel sample that has thrilling (and classic Lafite) aromatics of darker currants, freshly sharpened pencils, leather, flowers, and graphite. These all carry over to the palate, where the wine is medium to full-bodied and has a seamless, layered, elegant mouthfeel and ultra-fine tannins. I don’t see it hitting the heights of the 2018, 2019, or 2020, but it's an incredible wine in the vintage and is going to be an ultra-classic beauty from this château that will evolve for decades. The alcohol is a respectable 12.9% and the pH is 3.78. (Lafite always tends to have a higher pH.)
