The 2002 Carruades de Lafite is an underrated, highly classic vintage that has aged beautifully into a state of elegant maturity. Foregoing massive extraction, the 2002 vintage focuses on structural precision and aromatic lift. It reveals a highly refined bouquet of mature cassis, dried rose petals, subtle mint, and the unmistakable Lafite signature of graphite and lead pencil shavings. Medium-bodied and perfectly balanced, the tannins are completely soft and silky, supported by a fresh line of acidity that drives a clean, lingering finish.
