Carruades de Lafite--Vintage 1989
Pauillac
The second wine of Château Lafite-Rothschild
Levels: All into neck, two bin soiled labels in each lot
"""I lament the fact that few ""second"" wines actually resemble their more esteemed siblings. Why? As severe as the selection can be for the grand vin, little selection is employed for most second wines as diluted cuvees, young vines, and whatever is tossed into these blends. With that warning in mind, the 1989 is a deuxieme wine that displays some of Lafite's personality. The vanillin, smoky, lead pencil nose is unmistakable. In the mouth, there is real focus, character, and elegance. This tasty Lafite-look-alike will drink handsomely for 6-12 or more years."" RP, February 1993
