Robert Parker's Wine Advocate : Aged for 18 months in barrels, 10% new, the 2015 Carruades de Lafite is medium to deep garnet-purple colored and just a little closed at this youthful stage, revealing delicate notes of red and black plums, black cherries and dried herbs plus touches of pencil lead, cedar chest and beef drippings.
Medium-bodied, refreshing and with a well-played chewy texture, although just a baby in terms of evolution, it has an accessible structure, finishing long and savory. Drink 2020-2032.
Blend : 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc.
