Tasting Notes: The 2016 Carraudes de Lafite is a beautiful dark red violet colour. Very appealing nose with notes of red fruit dominated by cherry. There are also notes of tobacco, which is quite unusual at this stage of the ageing process. On the palate, the wine quickly opens up, which is often the case for Les Carruades due to its higher proportion of Merlot. It rapidly develops a full-bodied character, with exceptional balance. The complementarity between the four grape varieties is perfect, offering a very pleasant, well-structured mid-palate. The finish brings refined, slightly salty, mineral notes. Will be at its best in 10 to 15 years, or more.
