Robert Parker's Wine Advocate : A brilliant second wine, the 2000 Carruades de Lafite, aged in 10-15% new French oak, shows wonderfully sweet lead pencil shavings intermixed with an elegant black cherry and cassis nose. A wine of tremendous purity, medium body, and the tell-tale Lafite elegance, this is a gorgeous wine to drink now and over the next 12-15 years.
Blend : 51.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 1.5% Petit Verdot.
