1998

The Carruades de Lafite, Pauillac - 1998 is a second wine produced by the prestigious Chateau Lafite Rothschild in Bordeaux, France. This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot showcases the elegance and complexity that is characteristic of wines from this renowned estate.

Carruades de Lafite is known for its rich and intense flavors of black currant, blackberry, cedar, and tobacco, with hints of spice and oak. This vintage from 1998 is showing beautifully with a ripe fruit profile, velvety tannins, and a long, lingering finish.

On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and well-structured, with a balanced acidity and supple tannins that add depth and complexity. This 1998 vintage is drinking beautifully now but also has the potential to age gracefully for several more years.
