Deep garnet-purple colored. Needs a little coaxing to bring out notes of crushed red and black plums and fresh raspberries, with touches of dried Provence herbs, wet slate, and lavender. The medium-bodied palate is refreshing and pure with fine-grained tannins and a well-sustained, savory finish.

The vintage is marked by intense spice, with cassis, chocolate, mandarin, greengage, dense tannic architecture, with welome mint leaf and raspberry pip freshness on the finish. Need to sit with this, allow the floral aromatics to uncurl, bitter edge on the finish. A serious, almost sombre Carruades at this point, will reward ageing. 16% press wine, 38% Carruades of overall production. 3.75ph,

Inside Bordeaux

This has taken on lovely depth over ageing, delivering on its promise, and these are classic slightly old school Pauillac flavours, focusing on crayon, slate, pencil lead, cassis bud, rose bud, has tension and subdued power. Highly successful. 1st year organic conversion. 40% of overall production, 34hl/h yields.

This is an enjoyable Carruades, with confident weight and spice, barely out of its En Primeur character. Black cherry and cassis notes grip on through the palate, with liqourice, tobacco and espresso, and a creamy mid palate gives a welcoming kick. Eric Kohler technical director, 20% new oak.

The 2019 Carruades de Lafite, a blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Franc, is deep garnet-purple in color. Notions of sauteed herbs, damp soil, and tapenade waft from the glass over a core of redcurrant preserves, baked plums, and tilled soil. The medium-bodied palate is chewy and subtly fruited, with a soft-spoken finish.

The 2018 Carruades de Lafite has a deep garnet-purple color. It offers up baked blackberries, warm cassis, and black cherries, with hints of sauteed herbs, Sichuan pepper, and rose oil. Full-bodied, rich, opulent, and spicy in the mouth, it has beautifully knit, fine-grained tannins, oodles of freshness and a long, perfumed finish.

Understated tension on the opening, plenty of Pauillac kick, cocoa bean, bitter black chocolate, cassis bud, white flowers, elegant and ready to drink at the ten year window. 10% new oak for ageing.

Finesse and savoury black fruits and mint leaf with gentle rosemary. It has a quiet concentation, together with layers of graphite, slate, and a mouthwating finish. Both quiet and yet powerful, it gives an insight into what makes Lafite so singular, and that is all you can really ask of a 2nd wine. Interesting also in how it differs from Petit Mouton, such a brilliant distillation of the difference between the two estates.

An integral part of the 1855 story, the Carruades plateau was purchased in 1845 by Lafite, and was kept separate from the main wine until the early 20th century, recognised for its quality so much that in the 1850s then owner of Lafite was told not to sell it to neighbouring Mouton as it would give them a quality advantage. Today the original Carruades plateau is largely used for Lafite's first wine, and grapes for Carruades de Lafite taken from a variety of different plots, decided at blend. This 2005 is complex, fleshy, nuanced, flavoursome, elegant black fruits, juicy uplift on the finish, ready to drink but going nowhere. 43hl/ha yields, 80% aged in oak, 10% new oak,

Sommelier

Deilig oljet konsistens. Nesten som et lag utenpå vinen i munnen. Mørke bær, mose og røyk. Fantastisk vin

Not showing full clarity in colour, but this is intense, full of character, and fabulously Pauillac, with soft crayon and gunsmoke, and still brambled black fruits, finessed with fine tannins that deliver memories of structure and depth. The label was different at the time, with Carruades given top billing, followed by 'de Lafite Rothschild', a good reminder that the Carruades plot, which today is largely used for the 1st wine, was known for its exceptional quality fruit right back in the 19th century.
