Item No. 109513 
red wine style:
Light & Fruity Smooth & Supple Earthy & Spicy Big & Bold
critical acclaim:

"Remarkably tight, offering black currant and sanguine notes laced with sandalwood and roasted fig. This is also tight-grained on the finish and is really long, with the acidity just going on and on. Only 10 percent new oak.
Barrel Sample: 93-96 Points "

Wine Spectator

"Incredible smoke, currants and blackberries. Spices too. Full bodied, with ultra-polished tannins and blackberries, blueberries and minerals. Orange peel too. Best Carruades ever?
Barrel Sample: 95-96 Points "

James Suckling

"Composed of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest mostly Merlot and a dollop of Cabernet Franc, the beautiful 2010 Carruades de Lafite may turn out to be one of the finest yet produced (although I still have a weakness for the brilliant 2003, which is drinking beautifully at present). Notes of charcoal, black currants, sweet cherries, licorice, herbs and cedar are all present in this full-bodied, opulent, stunning second wine. It will be drinkable upon release and should last for 20 or more years.
Barrel Sample: 91-94 Points "

The Wine Advocate

"A rich and silky wine, it’s soft, ripe and opulent in character, with great Cabernet Franc perfume.
Barrel Sample: 92-94 Points "
