Lafite-Rothschild Carruades de Lafite 2020

The 2020 Carruades shows impressive depth and complexity for a second wine. Dark and brooding, with layers of cassis, cedar, tobacco and dried herbs building slowly in the glass. The structure is serious here - firm tannins and good acidity provide backbone to the concentrated fruit. This is a powerhouse Carruades that will reward patience. Drink 2026-2040.
