    Evelyn Curtis – December 24, 2018

    Cloudy dark red/brown, fruity aroma. Full body with silky texture and soft tannins, high alcohol heat. Good acidity with sweet spices, dried fruit, and blackberries. Fantastic, but lacking length.

    Patrick Wilson – February 2, 2019

    Great with steak and sides. Closed at first, but aroma and flavors emerge after an hour. Red fruit and floral nose, warm spices on palate, mild tannins. Medium mineral finish. Not complex, but enjoyable with weekday meals. Let it aerate. Very good QPR.

    Thomas Lafosse – July 21, 2019

    Ruby red with a clay rim, dominated by Cabernet Sav’s flavor and scent, red cherries, fresh, refreshing, well-integrated oak, and a slightly dry finish. Goes well with medium rare ribeye.

    Shorter Review: Acidic, bland, short finish. No fruit or tannins. Not better than cheap supermarket wine. Malbec scent fades quickly, leaving green cabsav.

    Sherry Smith – November 25, 2020

    Balanced spiciness and dried fruits, but harsh and needs time to breathe. Day two brings more ripeness of black currant and pepper. Reserved raspberry nose, touch of herb, medium plus tannin and acidity, dried fruit on the palate.

    This wine is good value for its price, with a dark fruit and floral violet finish. However, it is flabby with a short finish and there are better options available at the same price point or lower.

    Margaret Lopez – June 23, 2021

    70% Malbec and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon from high altitude vines in Mendoza. A little sweet with plush tannins, red and black fruit, hints of cedar and a spiced finish. Supple and lush, but a bit simple.

    Lawrence Johnson – July 2, 2021

    A sappy wine with blueberry, cherry pie, vanilla bean, licorice, lavender, sage, and floral notes. Despite the 14.5% ABV, it retains fresh acidity and has ripe, supple tannins. Easy to drink with a mint, chocolate-covered espresso bean, and raw tobacco finish. Improves with some air. Score: 91.

    When Lafite Rothschild takes a boat to Argentina to grow grapes and blend juices in Mendoza, at sub $20 a bottle, anyone interested in wine has to take notice. Catena is there too, but let’s be honest in that I bought this because of the 1855 First Growth’s resume, not Catena, as good as they can be! , 28% CS, 72% Malbec., 14% abv, This wine needs a little air to open up and show it’s resolving tannins and structure. , It’s a ruby-garnet color liquid, with medium-pronounced intensity. Dark and red fruits The usual plums, black berry and vanilla, are present, along with an earthiness, a little tobacco and chocolate shavings. Cherries. , An interesting blend, and as with other Mendoza wines, it’s got a nice balance of acidity( a little high/sour?) and fruit, though the wine is out medium body, which may be expected by some. , For me, I expected more grippiness and a more full mouthfeel. Maybe it’s a Lafite bias I have? , Finish was short – less then 30 seconds. , I had this wine about 18 months ago. It’s developed in colour, but seems to have lost a the bouquet, and certainly the finish. With 14% alcohol, I’m uncertain as to why this wasn’t more evident. , With that knowledge, and with a couple cases to go, I think this will be a name to drink sooner then later. , It might get better in a couple of years, but again, as with these Argentinian wines, with big names behind them, it allows annual income, while they hold back the big wines and the accompanying big payday on Chateau Lafite! 🍷, Still they said, I expected more from this partnership. Obviously they know how to make wine, but seems they are experimenting here. , In the end, it’s $20!!! Not $1000!, C’est la vie…. And drink it in the next few years!, Addendum- Just read RP critique.About 50% of this wine matured in lightly toasted Lafite oak barrels and 50% in concrete vats, for 1 year. , That makes me think the lack of finish, little structure and tannins, are totally planned out in this wine- , he says drink before 2023!!! , Addendum 2- left this overnight in decanter without any alteration to the wine, but maybe slightly more tannin than day 1. My commentary remains. , Drink up! , Here’s the wine link and the marketing “discussion”., https://lafite.vin.co/JFH4RE, PS- Drink the rainbow!

    Improves with every bottle, supple and gracious with blueberry, raspberry, incense, and floral potpourri. Meatiness on the palate with gradual, gracile lift. No decant needed, took 1.5hrs to open up.
