Wonderfully ripe and decadent, with tobacco, meat and ripe berry aromas, with hints of currants. Full-bodied, and very velvety, with unctuous fruit flavors. Long and exotic aftertaste. Terrific wine. Second wine of Lafite Rothschild. Best after 2010. 2,375 cases made. ?JS

01: Sattes Rubin-Violett. Pfeffriges, frisches Cabernet-Bouquet, feine, florale Würznote. Im Gaumen sehr aromatisch, direkte blaubeerige Fruchtnuancen, wiederum ein pfeffriger Touch von blauen Beeren, geradliniger, optimal vinifizierter Wein. 17/20 austrinken 2004 – 2015

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, this is a gorgeous wine to drink now and over the next 12-15 years.
