58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot

Neal Martin: 88, James Suckling: 94

Neal Martin: The 2014 Carruades de Lafite has a crisp, tightly wound, blackberry scented bouquet that continues to demonstrate that attractive tarry tincture. The palate is medium-bodied with a supple opening, notes of blackberry and mulberry fruit, a dash of white pepper, though it just feels a little blocky on the finish at the moment, so I might be inclined to afford this another couple of years in the cellar. Drink Date 2020-2035.
