Wine Advocate #158 (4/2005) Rating：87 Drink：2005-2015
Similar to its bigger sibling, but leaner and not nearly as concentrated, as one might expect being a second wine, the 2002 Carruades reveals the Lafite fragrance of lead pencil shavings intermixed with red and black currants, plums, and a hint of cherries. Medium-bodied, with tart acidity, this is a wine to drink over the next decade.- Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (3/31/2005) Score: 87
A wine with good plum and raspberry aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied, with silky tannins and a short finish. Good but not special. Best after 2008. 18,000 cases made. –JS
Decanter Rating：
Fine, deep black-purple colour, very fine, almost feminine fruit, lissom and supple, lovely elegance and length, all in finesse, but good staying power. Drink 2007-20. |
