Carruades de Lafite - 2003 (750ml) Ruth Chris ” Food & Wine Magazine91 points Robert Parker There are 20,000 cases of the gorgeous 2003 Carruades de Lafite. Despite record heat in June, July and August, this wine only hit 12. 8% alcohol, which seems modest compared to the higher alcohol levels of 2009 and 2010. A final blend of 50% Merlot, 48% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc has resulted in a second wine with a Lafite Rothschild like character, plenty of creme de cassis, cedarwood and graphite notes as well
