Wine Spectator : 94/100 Rated 94 points by the Wine Spectator: "Distinguished by beautiful plummy, spicy flavours that are full and rich and made exotic by time. It's mature and complete, and what a finish!"--Lafite Rothschild vertical. Drink now. -------- Broadbent review: A delicious, almost perfect Lafite vintage. Many entries. Deceptively advanced in the early 1960s, but evolving - as it so often does - in aroma and flavour nuances. If you have the patience, the opportunity and the time, a fascinating wine; however, no hint of astringency should spoil its lingering flavour and aftertaste. In a way, it epitomises all the virtues that modern tasters and wine writers disdain: Delicacy, charm, subtlety, length and a weight - or lack of weight - that makes this type of wine the perfect drink or "food companion". A beautiful woman who reveals her charm slowly and requires patience and understanding. Last tasted in August 2000 ***** (5) stars. Should still be delicious.

Wonderful 1996 Lafite Rothschild, astonishingly bright colour, opulent, Burgundian bouquet, lots of sweetness, coffee, mocha - 95/100. Most recently in 2006 a very ripe, complex, flattering Lafite with fine sweetness - 95/100. - Robert Parker : En 1955, la plupart des vins sont relativement austères et ont une texture légèrement rugueuse. Ils sont aussi profonds, pleins, très colorés, avec un potentiel de garde assez axtraordinaire... Réussite générale à Saint Emilion : 4*(note sur 5*)
