As to Château Lafite traits shared by all vintage years, it was an enlightened amateur that summed it up best by saying “...whatever the case, all the Château Lafite wines have an almond and violet aroma!”

- Opened another bottle of this the other day (only have 5 left from a case of 12) and it is getting better year on year. Superb balance, the fruit is fresh, long finish. Superb. I expect next year's tasting will be better yet.
