CARRUADES DE LAFITE 2007

The winter was cold and wet, followed by a very early budburst. The fairly high temperatures in April and March favored the start of vegetation. Then until August, a long gray period, temperate and without excess was prolonged. Fortunately, at the beginning of September, the good weather stabilized, thus favoring the good and calm ripening of the grapes.
The second wine of Château Lafite Rothschild, the "Carruades de Lafite" 2007, reveals the fruit and freshness of Cabernet on the nose and on the palate. The length is good, it's a nice second wine with somewhat strict tannins on the finish, at this stage of tasting (06-2009). This wine is made from 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot.

Sensuous, glossy, ripe berry fruit. Lovely fruit quality on the palate with very silky tannins. Beautiful purity and cherry skin acidity as well as fine, powerful but ripe tannins.

 Deep ruby garnet, violet reflections. Inviting dark berry confit on the nose, blackberries, delicate floral nuances, attractive, blueberry confit. Very balanced on the palate, elegant, fine complex sour cherry fruit, mineral texture, sticks, pleasant extract sweetness, good potential.

Mid ruby. Quite a sludgy colour. Lots of acidity evident from the first sniff. Very light. Well polished with some reasonably firm tannins underneath. Mid weight of fruit. Lightly chewy on the end. Rather astringent finish. A bit dull and lacking life but by no means one of the softest northern Médocs.
