Why We're Buying

Critics Scores
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Another brilliant second wine, the 2010 Carruades de Lafite (50 Cabernet Sauvignon, 42.5 Merlot, 5 Cabernet Franc and the rest Petit Verdot) is elegant and amazing for a second wine from Lafite. Carruades de Lafite is now engraved in the bottle to prevent unscrupulous sommeliers and merchants from trying to pass it off as Lafite Rothschild. The wine displays much of the same lead pencil, charcoal and black currant notes of its bigger sister, although it is forward, precocious and far less structured than the grand vin. Nevertheless, this wine, which can be drunk now, will cellar beautifully for at least 20-25 more years.
