The 2006 Carruades de Lafite is a powerful, highly structured wine from a vintage known for its firm tannic grip and immense density. This is a classic, muscular Pauillac that has demanded patience but is now entering a beautiful drinking window. It exudes profound, dark aromatics of concentrated cassis, black cherry, cedar box, roasted oak, and intense graphite. Full-bodied and tightly coiled, the palate is supported by a robust framework of chewy tannins that are finally softening, leading to a long, savory finish.
