Carruades de Lafite--Vintage 2005
Pauillac. The second wine of Ch. Lafite-Rothschild
Tasting note: 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 blackcurrent fruit is followed by a medium-bodied, elegant wine with light to moderate tannin. Drink it over the next 10-15 years.
