  this wine has underwhelmed me ever since I've owned it...just always really mellow, no real finish, uneven....nice subtle profile though...herbal, mushroom, dark cherry

  Absolutely stunning! At its early peak! Gorgeous, ripe red fruits, a little spicy, full of substance and depth! A little Lafite at its very best! Gorgeous and sexy!

  Last of 4 bottles bought a long time ago. Cork was intact, first taste was very acidic and dry but the long very good after taste made me think that with good preparation, this bottle should have something to reveal. I decanted it, let it rest a good hour and, miracle, it turned out to be a fantastic wine that kept improving as time went by. Still fresh and very balanced wine. True Premier Grand Cru quality even for a second wine. Lafite’s product at at its best. Can't wait to open the real Lafite bottle I still have.

  I decanted this wine two hours prior to a meal, but it was insufficient to allow it to open into its optimum self. Classic Pauillac on a grand scale. Rich and complex with a long finish. Was better the next day. This wine has lots of life, will taste again in five years.

  Fine second label, 2000 Carruades de Lafite ($45 in 2008). Similar to previous notes. Light-mid ruby, amber edges; red fruit, tobacco, earth, wood nose; light-mid acids; softening tannins; balanced red fruit and wood finish; some life left. w/filet. 16.5/91.
