The 2022 Pinot Noir Dundee Hills wafts up a delicately spicy blend of dusty black cherries, ground cloves and dried roses. It is round and supple yet lifted in feel, with crisp red berry fruits elevated by a core of zesty acidity as hints of sour citrus add cheek-puckering tension. This tapers off long and perfumed with a bed of crunchy tannins that frames the experience remarkably well. I would never guess that the 2022 hails from a warm vintage.

Gorgeous expression of Nebbiolo: deep ruby but not opaque, feminine nose of florals and red fruit, tar, white pepper, exotic spices, herbaceous w/lifted - hi toned notes, med bodied, caressing subtle tannins and impressively integrated acidity. Evolving, complex, cerebral, this was my fave out of lineup of 6 — 6 months ago

Classic. Just classic on the color and nose. On the palate it has finer tannins, lifted acidity, and a long, polished finish that lingers on cassis and earth. One of the oldest Lafite’s I’ve tasted and feels like in last another couple of decades. Easy. — 7 days ago
