Description
The second wine, the 2007 Carraudes de Lafite, is nearly equal parts Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon with tiny dollops of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. A sleeper of the vintage, it offers sexy, ripe berry fruit intermixed with hints of cedarwood, forest floor, and underbrush. This plump, corpulent, fruity effort reveals a velvety texture as well as a lush finish. Enjoy it over the next 8-10 years. WA 90

Tasting note
2007年的拉菲二牌展現了波亞克產區的優雅與精緻。這款酒擁有複雜的香料香氣和淡淡的青果味,口感新鮮多汁,酸度明亮,單寧結實。法國橡木的使用為餘韻增添了一絲細膩的木質感,使其成為一款餘味悠長、愉悅的酒,尾韻略顯緊緻。作為拉菲酒莊的第二酒,這款以梅洛為主的酒,來自卡呂德高原的特定地塊,展現了獨特的個性,既親民又不失高雅。
The 2007 Chateau Lafite Rothschild 'Carruades de Lafite' is a testament to the elegance and finesse that the Pauillac appellation can produce. With a complex bouquet of savory spices and a hint of green fruit, this wine offers a fresh and juicy palate with bright acidity and solid tannins. The influence of French oak adds a subtle woodiness to the aftertaste, making it a wine with good length and a pleasant, albeit slightly tight, finish. This second wine of Château Lafite Rothschild, with a higher proportion of Merlot, is crafted from specific plots on the Carruades plateau, offering a unique personality that is both approachable and sophisticated.
