TASTING NOTES:

Wine Rating: RP 94 points
Drink by: N/A

The wine displays much of the same lead pencil, charcoal and black currant notes of its bigger sister, although it is forward, precocious and far less structured. Nevertheless, this wine, which can be drunk now, will cellar beautifully for 25+ years.

"Château Lafite Rothschild’s second wine, Carruades de Lafite presents similar characteristics to the Grand Vin, but with its own personality linked to a higher proportion of Merlot and to specific plots that are used to produce Carruades. The name comes from the Carruades plateau, a group of plots acquired in 1845 just next to the vines on the Château hilltop."
