Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (88)

The 1997 Carruades de Lafite (a blend of 32% Merlot, with the rest mainly Cabernet Sauvignon and a small portion of Cabernet Franc) maintains its reputation as one of Bordeaux's better second wines. The color is dark ruby with purple nuances. The wine is soft, fleshy, and round, with more up-front fat than Lafite, but not nearly the length or perfume. Supple, with low acidity, and an easy-going, silky finish

Winespectator (86)

A very grapey red with berry, cherry character. Full- to medium-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long, caressing finish. A bit hollow. Second wine of Lafite.
