2007 Carruades de Lafite
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無與倫比的風土特性。這款酒帶有經典的風味，口感新鮮多汁，酸度明亮，單寧結實。香氣中帶有香料和綠色水果的微妙氣息，收尾則有單寧和木質的韻味。這款酒使用了較多的梅洛，並在法國橡木桶中陳年，展現出與拉菲大酒不同的個性。開瓶醒酒一小時，讓它完全展開風采，搭配烤羊肉或紅酒燉牛肉等豐盛料理，味道更佳。
The 2007 Chateau Lafite Rothschild 'Carruades de Lafite' is a testament to the storied terroir of Pauillac. This wine, with its savory and classic profile, offers a fresh and juicy palate with bright acidity and solid tannins. The bouquet is graced with notes of spice and a hint of green fruit, leading to a finish that is marked by tannins and wood. Crafted with a higher proportion of Merlot, this second wine of Château Lafite Rothschild is aged in French oak barrels, revealing a personality distinct from the Grand Vin yet sharing its lineage. Decant for an hour to unveil its full expression and enjoy with hearty dishes like roast lamb or beef bourguignon.
