Lot #27. Carruades de Lafite 2003

Description: Consists of 2 Bottles, 0.75L
Region: France, Bordeaux, Pauillac.
Score: 93 RP.
"A spectacular value as well as a sleeper of the vintage is the 135,000-bottle cuvee of 2003 Carruades de Lafite (50% Merlot, 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 2% Cabernet Franc). This amazing effort rivals such superb second wines as the 1989 Bahans-Haut-Brion and 1982 Forts de Latour. A serious red, it is sexy, opulent, rich, and luscious with silky tannin, enormous body, and wave after wave of mocha-infused black cherry and cassis fruit. It is almost too good to be believed." Wine Advocate #164, Apr 2006
Provenance: The Sea Cliff Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $350
