Tasting Notes

Dark red. Wild, diffuse aromas. Thick and chewy and sweet. Satisfying, lively mouthful but pretty evolved. Quite racy but long. Well done!

Score: 17

The Rothschilds are making enormous investments in this estate, so I’m expecting a breakthrough effort to emerge (maybe the 2003 qualifies). The deep ruby-colored 2001 exhibits a moderately intense, noble bouquet of graphite, plums, and currants. Elegant (much in the style of Lafite) with medium body, sweet tannin, and a lively finish, it will be at its finest between 2007-2017.

Score: 89

Dark red. Currant, tobacco leaf and tarry oak on the nose. Pliant and open, with fat, sweet currant and tobacco flavors. Shows more volume than the Carruades de Lafite I tasted alongside it, but less clarity and thrust.

Score: 88

Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar 01 May 2004

Good core of fruit, with silky tannins and a medium to long finish of licorice, smoke and berry. Very good red. Best after 2007. 21,000 cases made.

Score: 89
