2020 Carruades de Château Lafite, Pauillac

2020 Carruades de Château Lafite, Pauillac

Surprisingly opulent, with good acidity. Feels bright, creaminess to the tannins and also really long, pure fruited finish. Nicely judged carruades. Certainly not austere, but just a hint of graphite on the finish.

Tasting notes

This is very classically structured with a palate that starts off slowly. Full-bodied and chewy with a soft, creamy texture and a long finish. Savory. A touch austere. 52% cabernet sauvignon, 42% merlot and 3% cabernet franc, the rest petit verdot.
