Tasting notes
The 2015 Carruades de Lafite offers slightly diffuse brambly red fruit laced with smoke and autumn leaves on the nose. This is a little more advanced than expected. The palate is medium-bodied and fresh, with light tannins and red fruit, orange rind and marmalade. This has a bright finish that is open for business now. Tasted at the 2015 Ten-Year-On tasting at Bordeaux Index.

Understated tension on the opening, plenty of Pauillac kick, cocoa bean, bitter black chocolate, cassis bud, white flowers, elegant and ready to drink at the ten year window. 10% new oak for ageing.
Lead-pencil aromas with currants and plums, too. Full body, silky tannins and...
The 2015 Carruades de Lafite is terrific. Pliant, supple and inviting, the 2015 offers notable radiance and suppleness, with pretty Cabernet Sauvignon aromatics to play off the racy fruit. Red plum, licorice and dried flowers lead into an effortless, pliant finish that adds to the wine's considerable appeal.
