2005 Carruades de Lafite, Pauillac

Carruades de Lafite, Pauillac
This is an extremely Grand Vin for a second wine. A beguiling perfumed nose seems to offer almost tropical hints to the main fruity, floral and cedar aromas. Carruades is normally a bit harder to get into but when you taste it you feel you want to take this home and drink it straightaway; on your own. There is concentrated red fruit on the palate, that is silky, elegant and complex, all buttressed very nicely by a slab of fresh acidity and very fine tannins. Tasted blind you would easily take this for a 2nd or 3rd growth.Château Lafite Rothschild

Carruades de Lafite, Pauillac
A classic example of a second wine, the 2005 Carruades de Lafite reveals a dark ruby hue with some pink showing at the rim. The moderately intense nose of graphite, forest floor, and sweet black currant fruit is followed by a medium-bodied, elegant wine with light to moderate tannin.
