Carruades de Lafite 2000, Pauillac (2)

Carruades de Lafite 2000
Pauillac
(2 lightly bin-soiled labels)
2 bottles

"A brilliant second wine, the 2000 Carruades de Lafite (51.4% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42.3% Merlot, 4.9% Cabernet Franc, and 1.4% Petit Verdot), 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..." (90pts Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #146, April 2003)
