95 Points - James Suckling

The aromas of Château Lafite Rothschild in 2013 are complex and fascinating, with cigar box, Spanish cedar and dark fruit, along with hints of hot stone. Full-bodied, with chewy tannins that are nevertheless very polished and refined. Solid density on the palate. Very long and impressive. This needs three to five years to open. Very impressive for the vintage.

94 Points - Wine Enthusiast

Almost entirely Cabernet Sauvignon (98%), this structured and dense wine is packed with concentrated dark fruits that are firm, showing intense acidity and freshness beneath the dark tannins. It's classic Bordeaux, with fruit and tannins in equal measure, and needs time. Drink from 2024.

92 Points - Wine Spectator

Features a charcoal coating, along with singed bay leaf and tobacco notes, melding pleasantly with a core of lightly steeped black currant and bitter plum fruit. Shows ample length and depth, with the grip striding through the finish. This should be among the longest-lived wines of this modest vintage. Best from 2018 through 2028.
