Robert Parker's Wine Advocate : 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.
Blend : 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 3% Cabernet franc and 1% Petit Verdot.
