Wine Advocate#165 (6/2006) Rating: 89-90 points Drink: 2007-2020
The dense ruby/purple-tinged 2004 Carruades de Lafite (48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 47% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot) exhibits sweet, crunchy, savory, black cherry, and raspberry fruit along with hints of road tar, spring flowers, and a touch of minerality. Give it 1-2 years of cellaring, and drink it over the following 12-13. -Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (3/31/2007) Score: 87
Aromas of currant and smoky wood follow through to a full-bodied palate, with chewy tannins and a medium finish. Slightly hollow midpalate, but still very good. Best after 2010. 26,665 cases made. –JS
Decanter Rating：
Fine deep colour, lovely fragrant nose with lifted blackcurrant fruit, quite fleshy extraction, yet very fresh, smooth and balanced, a really lovely, classically harmonious wine. Drink 2009-18. (17 points) |
