A candidate for the finest Carruades de Lafite ever made, the 2000 (a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Franc) is deep, fat, plush, and layered with concentration and depth. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2020. Robert Parker 90-93
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. Best after 2010. 2,375 cases made. –JS Wine Spectator 93
