Carruades de Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 2004
Pauillac. Château-bottled
In original wooden case
Tasting Note: Lafite's second wine has become stronger over recent vintages as the selection for the grand vin has become Draconian under administrator Charles Chevalier. The dense ruby/purple-tinged 2004 Carruades de Lafite (48 Cabernet Sauvignon, 47 Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot) exhibits sweet, crunchy, savory, black cherry, and raspberry fruit along with hints of road tar, spring flowers, and a touch of minerality.
