The Wine Advocate -96-98/100
Displaying a deep purple-black color, the 2020 Lafite Rothschild takes a little swirling and coaxing to unlock scents of freshly crushed blackcurrants, boysenberries and spiced plums, followed by emerging nuances of red roses, raspberry preserves, underbrush and unsmoked cigars, with a waft of cedar chest. The medium-bodied palate is an exercise in elegance and finesse, featuring tightly wound layers of red and black berries and loads of mineral sparks, framed by finely grained tannins and well-poised tension, finishing with fantastic length and the most stunning perfume. Magnificent achievement. This 2020 is a blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot
Vinous – Antonio Galloni -95-97/100
The 2020 is a super-classic Lafite-Rothschild of grace and finesse. A reticent introvert, Lafite impresses with its vertical lift and palpable energy. It is a wine of regal bearing that does not feel the need to say much, and yet everything is very clearly there. Bright acids and strong, saline notes come alive in the glass as the long, persistent finish unfolds with remarkable grace. The 2020 is simply exquisite. It’s a fabulous showing from the team led by Technical Director Eric Kohler.
J.M. Quarin – 98/100
Couleur sombre, intense, pourpre et belle. Nez très aromatique, fin, fruité, subtil et complexe. Nuances de fruits frais et mûrs. Fond de framboise. Emouvant. Moelleux en entrée de bouche, particulièrement aromatique au milieu, avec un toucher gras, un corps fondant et le magnifique éclat fruité qui manque à beaucoup dans ce millésime, ce vin noble fond au palais tout en douceur et velouté. En finale, il redouble d’arômes subtils. C’est incrachable ! Une corpulence et une texture à la présence rare eu égard le faible degré
d’alcool. Assemblage : 92 % cabernet sauvignon, 7 % merlot, 1 % petit verdot.
