Blended from 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot, it opens with aromas of red currants, sweet tobacco, cedar, and subtle graphite. The palate is precise and energetic, combining bright acidity, fine tannins, and a creamy, elegant texture. Linear and well-structured, it delivers freshness, purity, and depth, finishing long with a saline, mineral edge. A beautifully balanced wine with classic Lafite finesse and excellent ageing potential.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling | \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(158, 0, 57); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eJS 96\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished: Mar 4, 2026\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA tight and linear red with red currant, sweet tobacco and cedar aromas and flavors.
