Carruades de Château Lafite--Vintage 1998
Pauillac. Château-bottled
In original wooden case
Tasting note: This has become one of the finest second wines produced. The 1998 (a blend of 61 Cabernet Sauvignon, 33 Merlot, 4.5 Cabernet Franc, and 1.5 Petit Verdot) is an outstanding effort. While very Lafite-like (although more supple and forward), it exhibits a dense ruby/purple color in addition to an excellent bouquet of black fruits, smoke, earth, and minerals, supple tannin, an excellent texture, and a long, fine finish. Anticipated maturity: now-2015. 90 points. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #134, April 2001.
