Wine Advocate #140 (4/2002) Rating：89 Drink：2003-2015
The 1999 Carruades de Lafite is made in the style of its bigger sibling. It reveals graphite, lead pencil, black currant, and cedary aromas, medium body, sweet glycerin, and a gorgeously expansive texture and palate. The wine is long and Lafite-like, and is unbelievably impressive. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2015. - Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (3/31/2002) Score: 89
Lovely aromas of sweet, ripe berries with hints of chocolate. Full-bodied, with silky, caressing tannins and a long, fruity aftertaste. Very impressive for a second wine. Best after 2004. 25,000 cases made. –JS
Chateau tasting：
The result is a vintage with a fine expression, aromatic intensity, and a fruity flavor recalling raspberries. It is supple and long on the palate, with silky and elegant tannins.
