2011 Carruades de Lafite, Pauillac, Case of 3 Magnum

Jane Anson writes, "A bright kick of salinity on the finish, although there are more evident touches of the summer drought here than in the first wine, with rose petals and dried fruit on the finish. Plenty to enjoy, with the angular tannins softening after a few moments in the glass. A good time to drink, not likely to deepen much more although it should continue drinking well for the next decade. 2% Petit Verdot completes the blend." Published DR February 19, 2021
