Score 87/100 · Wine Spectator

Lean and tannic, with solid plum, cherry and chocolate flavors, but modest depth. Needs time for the tannins to soften, but will the fruit last? Try 1993 to '96.--Lafite Rothschild vertical. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 1991

The personality of Lafite comes through in the 1984 vintage. An elegant bouquet of herbaceous, cedary fruit is first class. New oak dominates the palate and some hard tannins exhibit a dryness at the finish. The 1984 is a light but well-balanced wine. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 1/88. Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition # B1
