Wine Advocate #153 (6/2004) Rating:87 Drink:2004-2014
The elegant second wine, 2001 Carruades de Lafite reveals notions of lead pencil shavings intertwined with cherry, currant, cranberry, and wet stone-like aromas. Drink this medium-bodied, up-front Pauillac over the next decade.- Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (3/31/2004) Score: 90
Fresh and focused, with violet, berry and cherry character. Medium body, with silky tannins and a clean finish. The second wine of Lafite. Best after 2007. 22,000 cases made. –JS
Decanter Rating:
Big velvety colour, fine nose of black currants with a hint of violets, supple and ripe and beautifully elegant, quite ripe, a fine plump Pauillac. (Tasted en primeur) |
