Cellaring : Drink now.

Presentation : The second wine of Château Lafite Rothschild! Carruades de Lafite is a blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc. Garnet-coloured, it emerges from the glass with bright, fresh notions of wild blueberries, ripe plums and redcurrant jelly, as well as notes of cinnamon stick, cumin seed, oolong tea and violets with a hint of black olives. The palate offers rich, ripe, spicy flavours with a smooth texture, well rounded tannins and freshness in the background, finishing with a lingering note of allspice.
