Wine 2000 Second wine Bordeaux Pauillac

A good climatic year in many respects with a harvest under the sun. Indeed, the vegetation was early, the temperatures were above average with ordinary rainfall. Consequently, the 2000 vintage is an exceptional vintage.

(4-2003) A brilliant second wine, the 2000 Carruades de Lafite (51.4% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42.3% Merlot, 4.9% Cabernet Franc, and 1.4% Petit Verdot), aged in 10-15% new French oak, shows wonderfully sweet lead pencil shavings intermixed with an elegant black cherry and cassis nose. A wine of tremendous purity, medium body, and the tell-tale Lafite elegance, this is a gorgeous wine

(3-2003) Wonderfully ripe and decadent, with tobacco, meat and ripe berry aromas, with hints of currants. Full-bodied, and very velvety, with unctuous fruit flavors. Long and exotic aftertaste. Terrific wine. Second wine of Lafite Rothschild.
