WINEMAKER'S NOTE
This is an extremely Grand Vin for a second wine. A beguiling perfumednose seems to offer almost tropical hints to the main fruity, floral and cedararomas.

SRobert Parker review: A classic example of a second wine, the 2005 Carruades de Lafite reveals a darkruby hue with some pink showing at the rim. The moderately intense nose ofgraphite, forest floor, and sweet black currant fruit is followed by amedium-bodied, elegant wine with light to moderate tannin. Drink it over thenext 10-15 years.(Robert Parker - Wine Advocate - 30-Apr-2008)
