  "Attractive, showing blackcurrants, lead pencil and flowers such as lavender and violets on the nose, as well as tobacco. Medium-bodied and juicy with firm and linear tannins that are rather endless. Impressive stones and chalkiness. Excellent length and crunchiness. 53% cabernet sauvignon, 40% merlot, 4% cabernet franc and 3% petit verdot. Drink in three or four years."

  "Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Feine schwarze Kirschen, zart nach Nougat, schwarze Waldbeeren, ein Hauch von Erdbeerkonfit, sehr verführerisches Bukett. Saftig, präzise, feine Textur, etwas Extraktsüße, tolle Frische, feine Tannine, gut ausgewogen und lange anhaftend, mineralisch im Nachhall, sicheres Reifepotenzial, aber auch bereits jung zu genießen."

  "Easily one of the best 2nd wines of the vintage, maintains tension and lift through the palate, showing well placed, reserved cassis, blueberry, cocoa bean, espresso and sea spray salinity on the finish. Eric Kohler technical director."

  Decanter
  "Cherry aromas burst from the glass - bright, open, and inviting - layered with bitter chocolate, tobacco, cedar, and a subtle spice. The texture is remarkable: deep yet soft, with seamlessly integrated tannins that provide a silky powderiness, filling the mouth with both volume and finesse. A serious wine, yet it retains an effortless energy, its vibrant acidity lifting waves of red cherry and strawberry. Layered, lively, and utterly gorgeous, this is a Carruades that shines with classicism and charm. 16% press wine."

  "The 2022 Carruades De Lafite is beautifully balanced and has that classic Lafite elegance in its aromatics and overall mouthfeel. Sweet cassis, violets, spring flowers, and cedar notes all emerge on the nose. It's medium to full-bodied, has a balanced, elegant texture, and beautifully integrated tannins. As with the Grand Vin, it brings ample richness and depth while holding onto a beautiful sense of freshness. Drink this brilliant second wine over the coming two decades."
