Carruades de Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 2003
Pauillac. The second wine of Ch. Lafite-Rothschild
Tasting Note: A spectacular value as well as a sleeper of the vintage is the 135,000-bottle cuvée of 2003 Carruades de Lafite (50 Merlot, 48 Cabernet Sauvignon, and 2 Cabernet Franc). This amazing effort rivals such superb second wines as the 1989 Bahans-Haut-Brion and 1982 Forts de Latour. A serious red, it is sexy, opulent, rich, and luscious with silky tannin, enormous body, and wave after wave of mocha-infused black cherry and cassis fruit. It is almost too good to be believed. While drinkable now, it should evolve for 12-15 years or longer. 93 Points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 164, April 2006.
