Classic Lafite restraint and precision define the 2020, a wine built on finesse rather than power. Blackberry and cassis emerge alongside pencil shavings and crushed stone, the aromatics unfolding with typical aristocratic reserve. Medium-bodied with crystalline tannins that frame rather than dominate, showing the estate's signature linear elegance. The finish carries beautiful sapidity with a touch more juiciness than vintages past. Drink 2030-2055.
