Lafite-Rothschild Carruades de Lafite 2012

The 2012 Carruades shows classic Lafite elegance in a more accessible form. Perfumed red fruit mingles with pencil shavings and tobacco leaf, creating the signature aromatic complexity. Medium-bodied with supple tannins that feel polished rather than structured. The finish shows restraint, perhaps overly so, lacking the persistence expected from this terroir.
