Carruades de Lafite (Torn Label) 2010 Pauillac Bordeaux 750ml/Btl 6/case

Description

Robert Parker: 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.
