| Tasting Notes | Robert Parker: Another brilliant second wine, the 2010 Carruadesde Lafite (50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42.5% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Francand the rest Petit Verdot) is elegant and amazing for a second winefrom Lafite. “Carruades de Lafite” is now engraved in the bottle toprevent unscrupulous sommeliers and merchants from trying to passit off as Lafite Rothschild. The wine displays much of the samelead pencil, charcoal and black currant notes of its bigger sister,although it is forward, precocious and far less structured than thegrand vin. Nevertheless, this wine, which can be drunk now, willcellar beautifully for at least 20-25 more years.Robert Parker: Another brilliant second wine, the 2010 Carruadesde Lafite (50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42.5% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Francand the rest Petit Verdot) is elegant and amazing for a second winefrom Lafite. “Carruades de Lafite” is now engraved in the bottle toprevent unscrupulous sommeliers and merchants from trying to passit off as Lafite Rothschild.
