Carruades de Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1998
Pauillac. The second wine of Ch. Lafite-Rothschild
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 colour 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. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 134, April 2001.
