Carruades de Lafite, Pauillac 2005 1x300cl

88-91 Points, Stephen Tanzer, Vinous (48.5% cabernet sauvignon, 45.5% merlot, 4.5% cabernet franc and 1.5% petit verdot) Bright medium ruby. Very pure aromas of cassis, minerals, violet and licorice. Juicy, elegant and precise, with lovely acidity framing the dark fruit and mineral flavors. On the austere side but with excellent verve and cut. Very long for this wine.Review Date: 01 May 06
