The Wine Advocate

"The 2018 Lafite Rothschild is blended of 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8.5% Merlot and 0.5% Petit Verdot and has 13.3% alcohol. The Merlot was harvested September 17-24, the Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested September 25 to October 5, and the Cabernet Franc was harvested on September 24. It has a deep purple-black color and then WOW—what a nose. It comes sashaying out of the glass with bags of grace and perfume, revealing notions of lilacs, red roses, fragrant soil, cinnamon stick and Morello cherries with a core of blackcurrant cordial, fresh black plums, redcurrant jelly and tapenade plus a waft of iron ore. Medium-bodied, the palate has wonderful, tightly wound layers of black, red and blue fruits intermingled with floral, earth and mineral notions and a rock-solid frame of the most finely pixelated tannins you can possibly imagine. Anyone who wants to see what I mean when I babble about the Lafite tannins needs to try this benchmark. The finish goes on, and on, and on. If this wine doesn’t get Bordeaux lovers hearts´ racing, nothing will."

Decanter Magazine

"This is silky and delicious and juicy, not something you can often say about a Lafite En Primeur sample but before you even get close to tasting the wine you can feel the layers building. It has the precision, the freshness and the sense of effortless elegance that Lafite always conveys with lots of power and depth, deep black fruits on the nose and a mix of spices from rosemary to saffron on the palate. Is it better than the 2016? It’s hard to say at this stage but it certainly feels its equal, although differently constructed and unlikely to take as long to come around - think 10 rather than 14 years before reaching its drinking window. It´s worth adding that very few wines have been so unmarked by the extremes of the vintage, or as technical director Eric Kohler puts it; ´Even after 25 years of working at Lafite I continue to be full of admiration for this terroir. Other plots that we own reacted to the heat at times, but Lafite just kept sailing on as usual."

"Black core. Introverted dark fruit, almost sour in its dark freshness. Amazing elegance without any apparent sweetness. So dry, so serious but with body and richness in the middle. Classicism and precision. Some rocky/mineral darkness. Paper-fine layers of tannins. Fresh with a power and yet a delicacy at the same time. A dark dry purity. There is a serenity to this wine, it has muscles but is not flexing them. Opens up to riper, richer fruit character. Wonderful harmony and refined length. Could turn out to be my wine of the primeurs tastings. (It did.)"

Jeff Leve

"The color matches a long obscured ruby jewel. The initial sip shows its sophistication, grace and refinement and there is an extraordinary purity in the fruit. Before taking a second sip for confirmation, you´ll find tobacco, lead pencil, cedar, flowers, cherry pipe tobacco and if you dig really deep, you´ll discover a subtle essence of orange in the background. On the palate, the wine is supple, silky, long and focused. Precision is an often misunderstood term used by wine writers. 2018 Lafite Rothschild is the poster child for precision in a wine. Never the most powerful of the First Growths, instead here, you find a wine of perfect balance, elegance and harmony with a unified, seemingly endless finish. Produced from a blend of 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8.5% Merlot and .5% Petit Verdot, the wine reached 13.3% alcohol with a pH of 3.73. The Grand Vin represents 40% of the harvest, which took place September 17 to September October 4."

Jean-Marc Quarin

"Ma meilleure note donnée à ce cru en primeur.
Couleur sombre, intense et belle. Nez intense, fin, fruité, pur, mûr et subtil. Minutieux à l'attaque, de suite aérien au développement, savoureux et raffiné de part en part, le vin caresse et va même crescendo en finale dans une grande longueur, noble et subtile. Un délice incrachable. Assemblage : 91 % cabernet sauvignon, ,5 % merlot, 0,5 % petit verdot. Degré d'alcool : 13°3 (moyenne plus), c'est le miracle de ce vin. A lui tout seul, il représente la quintessence des vins de Bordeaux, soit cette capacité unique à mûrir ses raisins sans les rendre alcoologènes. pH : 3,8 (moyenne). IPT : 73 (moyenne plus). Sélection : 40 % de premier vin."

James Suckling

"A very compact and linear Lafite with a fantastic mouthfeel of intense but ever so refined tannins that draw a straight line through the middle of the wine. It’s full-bodied yet compact with complex character of plums, blackcurrants, cigar tobacco, cedar and hints of hazelnuts and coffee. Salty. Orange zest at the end. Delicacy with power. Richness with softness. Glamorous. Lasts for minutes at the finish."

Jeb Dunnuck

"What will unquestionably be another magical wine from Eric Kohler and his team, the 2018 Château Lafite checks in as 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8.5% Merlot, and just a splash of Petit Verdot. It´s a classic Lafite that offers a deep purple/ruby color and beautiful notes of crème de cassis, lead pencil shavings, tobacco, cedar, and graphite. Flawlessly balanced, full-bodied, and seamless, it´s a wine that builds incrementally on the palate, offering incredible finesse, ripe, present tannins, and a great finish. It reminds me of a more elegant version of the 2016 and should be approachable with just 5-6 years of cellaring and keep just about forever."

VINOUS

"The 2018 Lafite-Rothschild is creamy, sensual and inviting, with lovely purity of fruit and impeccable balance. Dark cherry, plum, licorice and spice are some of the many nuances that develop. Time in the glass brings out striking aromatic depth and overall persistence. Although an undeniably attractive wine, the 2018 does not appear to have the sheer pedigree of the very best wines in this vintage. None of the three samples I tasted were as impressive as I had hoped for. Perhaps I had bad luck. Time will tell. The blend is 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8.5% Merlot and 0.5% Petit Verdot."

"Rouge grenat dense aux reflets violets. Quelle superbe intensité olfactive avec une fraîcheur de fruit exceptionnelle, invitante, d’une grande maturité. Notes de cassis, de cannelle, de cèdre, de menthe. Finalement, à l’aération, la complexité ne cesse de gagner en grandeur et je relève des notes de baies des bois ainsi que des bâtons de réglisse. La mise en bouche est fine, fruitée, fraîche et puissante. Tous les éléments pour un grand vin sont réunis et créent une symbiose entre puissance, finesse, race, fruit. Les tannins se révèlent très lentement pour atteindre le sommet de leur expression en fin de bouche où ils cohabitent parfaitement avec la structure acide. Belle intensité fruitée en fin de bouche. Quelle précision, quelle grandeur, où l’onctuosité, la rigueur, la profondeur et la persistance sont de mise."
