Description
Neal Martin: The 2015 Carruades de Lafite is a blend of 57%
Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc. This has a
satisfying purity on the nose: blackberry and briary, a distant,
cold slate-like note just underneath, with the new oak (close to
20%) neatly subsumed. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin.
There is moderate depth to this slightly foursquare and
conservative Carruades, but there is also plenty of freshness and
it has an appealing, unassuming finish that is both harmonious and
precise. Probably one of the most approachable deuxieme vins,
afford this 2-3 years in bottle before broaching.
