CARRUADES DE LAFITE 1999

This year was vegetative and again early, with an increased need for technical monitoring throughout the vegetation. At the end of September, the harvest was very quick and took place partly in the rain. The superb weather conditions of August and early September had already made this vintage a success. The result is a vintage of fine expression.
The second wine of Château Lafite Rothschild, the "Carruades de Lafite" 1999 is of great aromatic intensity, with red fruits. The palate is supple and long with silky and elegant tannins. This wine is made from 69% Cabernet Sauvignon and 31% Merlot.

Dark red color. Medium to good intensity. Long live. Nose of medium intensity. Discreet. Vanilla. Nice woody notes that seem fresher to me than before. Soft attack developing round and fruity without marking a hollow in the mid-palate. The evolution is well balanced, firm and tasty. Medium persistence. Pleasant wine but which does not have or no longer has the nuance of touch similar to Grand Lafite. Here the finish is firmer. Is it the vintage or the vinification method (concentration)?
