Ratings & Tasting Notes
James Suckling (96/100)
“This is a beautiful Carraudes with currant, sweet-tobacco and wet-earth aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied with a dense center-palate and tight, polished tannins. Fresh, with tension. Reminds me of the 1995 Lafite. This is so Lafite in character. It shows so much cabernet sauvignon character. It’s 68% cabernet sauvignon, 27% merlot and the rest cabernet franc. Try after 2026.”
Falstaff (95/100)
“Dark ruby, purple reflections, subtle edge brightening. Ripe black berry fruit with chocolate undertones, nuances of heart cherry and blackberry, delicate hints of oak. Juicy and silky on the palate, fine tannins, elegant, ripe cherry, delicate hints of plum, subtle nougat touch on the finish, already well developed and very inviting, a multi-faceted food companion, has good development and certain ageing potential.”
