Carruades de Lafite Rothschild 1995 Chateau Lafite Rothschild

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (87)

I have noticed in my tastings that the second wine of Lafite-Rothschild, Carruades de Lafite, has improved over recent years. The 1995 is a 40% Merlot/60% Cabernet Sauvignon blend. It exhibits more of the trademark characteristics of its bigger sibling. Elegant, with spicy new oak, lead pencil, and creamy black currant fruit, this is a medium-bodied, finesse-styled wine with excellent purity and overall equilibrium.

Light aromas of currant and blackberry. Medium- to full-bodied, with chewy tannins and a medium finish.
