Jane Anson Inside Bordeaux (98-100)This hits you right off the first nose, driven by slate and crushed rocks, setting the tone and the architecture, guiding the fruit through the palate. Cassis, bilberry, tobacco leaf, graphite, crushed mint, finessed and sculpted, this is a gorgeous Lafite, with fine tannins and the squid ink character that seems to be present in all of this stable of wines except Moulin de Duhart. Hidden power, where nothing is too much and yet everything is concentrated, once again proving that the terroir at this particular spot has its own personality that stands out every year. High Cabernet as ever, combined with around 15% press wine. Not the concentration of 2022, but in many ways showcasing the essence of Lafite more squarely, and this will delight anyone lucky enough to own it in future years. 45hl/h yield, highest since 2015, harvest September 7 to 29. 100% new oak. New cellar underway, due for completion in 2027. I am giving it 10 years to begin entering its opening window, a little less than usual but it will make no difference to how long you can cellar it. |

Emanating from the fabled Château Lafon vineyards in Listrac-Médoc, France, Lafon 2020 wine is a sterling declaration of elegance. As an experienced fine wine connoisseur, I am impressed with this exceptional Bordeaux, crafted by the eminent and time-honoured Château Lafon family of winemakers. Exhibiting the true finesse of Médoc terroir, Lafon 2020 weaves together a tantalising medley of blackcurrant, plum, and velvety tannins imparting a balanced, pleasurable finish. This exuberantly rich wine is made from a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, harvested manually at their prime. What sets Lafon 2020 apart is its 12 to 18 months ageing period in seasoned French oak barrels, endowing it with nuanced smoky and spicy undertones. This captivating libation truly demonstrates Lafon's commitment to quality, reflecting their devotion and passion for viniculture. Indulge in Lafon 2020's enchanting indulgence, and savour the unique essence of one of Bordeaux's most respected producers. |

The 2023 is essentially a blend of three picks. The first was done at the end of September and accounted for 20% of the crop. The core of the vineyard, about 75%, was picked in a day ten window in October, following the September rains. A smaller third pick rounded out the harvest. |

Jeb Dunnuck (98)On another level, the 2020 Château Suduiraut is flat-out stunning and boasts a phenomenal array of orange blossom, honeyed minerality, lychee nut, caramelized peach, and assorted spices. Rich, full-bodied, and concentrated, it nevertheless has the vintage’s riveting purity and precision. Sauternes doesn't get much better. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (98-100)The 2023 Suduiraut (100% Sémillon) is a real stunner. Light on its feet yet wonderfully deep, the 2023 offers up a heady mix of tangerine oil, mint, white flowers, apricot and passion fruit. Readers will find a Sauternes that is more finesse than power. The 2023 is essentially a blend of three picks. The first was done at the end of September and accounted for 20% of the crop. The core of the vineyard, about 75%, was picked in a day ten window in October, following the September rains. A smaller third pick rounded out the harvest. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (90)The 2017 Tauzinat L'Hermitage has developed into a lovely wine. Plump, juicy and inviting, the 2017 is simply impeccable, not to mention incredibly delicious. Sweet tobacco, chocolate, black cherry, and dark spice all meld together in this racy yet mid-weight Saint-Émilion. Best of all, the 2017 is a terrific value. Tasted two times. |
