Wine Advocate #146 (4/1/2003) Rating：90 Drink：20013-2018
A brilliant second wine, the 2000 Carruades de Lafite (51.4% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42.3% Merlot, 4.9% Cabernet Franc, and 1.4% Petit Verdot), aged in 10-15% new French oak, shows wonderfully sweet lead pencil shavings intermixed with an elegant black cherry and cassis nose. A wine of tremendous purity, medium body, and the tell-tale Lafite elegance, this is a gorgeous wine to drink now and over the next 12-15 years.- Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (1/23/2003) Score: 93
Sometimes you have to wonder if the second wine of Lafite is too good in quality. Perhaps they should have used some of this in the grand vin-but then again, I gave Lafite 100 points in this vintage. So it was probably a good idea making such a severe selection. Regardless, this is an exciting young wine. Wonderfully ripe and decadent, with tobacco, meat and ripe berry aromas and hints of currants. It's full-bodied and very velvety, with unctuous fruit flavors and a long and exotic aftertaste.
Decanter Rating：
Fabulous colour, really deep and still purple, lovely nose, a superb expression of ripe fruit and elegant concentration, very great clarity of fruit and terroir, really good example. Ready 2007-2025. (tasted en primeur) |
