Chateau Lafite Rothschild Carruades de Lafite 2013

Beautiful deep colour that sparkles in the glass. The nose is of course still very young, with primary notes of early ageing. Superb notes of spices and fresh raspberries. On the palate, the attack is supple and rounded. The wine then presents young, lively tannins, whose excellent quality will be revealed with time. The finish is complex and harmonious with beautiful burnt notes. This Carruades needs five to seven years to open up, and has all the characteristics of a wine that will continue to improve for many more.

92 Points - James Suckling

Pretty density and flavor for Carruades in this less than perfect year. Shows tobacco, cream and chocolate aromas and flavors with black currants. Full to medium body, fresh finish. Drink now or hold.

90 Points - Wine Enthusiast

This second wine of Lafite Rothschild is packed with acidity, nervy black currant fruits and extreme freshness. It's a light wine, all fruit and only hints of tannin and structure.
