Château Lafite Rothschild
Carruades de Lafite, 2005

 

Pauillac

Price on Application

750ml Bottle

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 black currant fruit is followed by a medium-bodied, elegant wine with light to moderate tannin. Drink it over the next 10-15 years. Robert Parker 90 points.
