Nice red! Carbonic maceration. Juicy and a little tannic. — 3 years ago
Straight out of the bottle I thought a Funky Northern Rhone, ie, syrah. But no, Canary Islands conquers again. Actually loads of iron- melted rusty ingots w cinnamon, white pepper. Is that the oak monster? Love to see what a good decant would do, suspect it is layered much beyond the what it is now. — 7 years ago
Ah, the king of them all. So bitter after fruitier IPA’s. Dangerously refreshing.
Easy to put away, 1,2,3 . 5.2°
Balance of grain/hops. Not too much or too little. With fatty foods, a dream.
Used to be a nicer can. No accounting for aesthetics. Not to mind, in this case, Chicago conquers Philly. I bow. — a year ago
Soft white wine with a light straw yellow color.
It's persist and fine bubble conquers the mouth gently and it envelopes the nose with its strong mineral bouquet.

The 2019 Lafite-Rothschild is a mesmerizing wine that shows how compelling the vintage is on the Left Bank. Elegant, creamy and exquisitely layered, the 2019 Lafite conquers all the senses. There is tremendous density and power that belies the 12.8% alcohol, but then again, that can be the magic of Bordeaux. Classic Lafite red plum fruit, spice, cedar, licorice and rose petal linger on the striking, persistent finish. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, February 2022)
