2006 Chateau Baron de Rothschild Lafite Carruades, Pauillac RP--90

Robert Parker: 90 Points
Wine Advocate # 181 Feb 2009 Robert Parker 90 Drink: 2009 - 2024 $485-$716 (75) The second wine, which has soared in quality over the last decade, is an outstanding effort displaying a character similar to that of Lafite, without the size, depth, and aging potential of that wine. The 2006 Carruades de Lafite offers up aromas of graphite, cedar, black currants, sweet cherries, and smoky herbs. This complex, more evolved, medium-bodied, silky-textured, sexy offering will provide plenty of pleasure over the next 15 years.
