Carruades de Lafite - 2000 (750ml) Brunello di Montalcino outstanding purity and concentrationA 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 to drink now and over the next 12 15 years. Robert Parker 90 points
