I was always puzzled why the short-lived Chinese Lafite fetish extended to Carruades, but not to Duhart-Milon. This was bought not long ago on the cheap and delivers a legitimately Lafite-like experience. A classic Pauillac with the usual cedary aromatics and a pitch-black fruit complexion, even a bit of nuttiness. The texture is slick and glossy and while there is still some tannin here it's mostly smoothed over. Very easy drinkability here and while it may not have the dimensions of Lafite it's got very much the same taste, and even a lot of the elegance. — 11 years ago

A beautiful Bordeaux blend that was screaming for a Tuscan t-bone steak to go with it. Unfortunately, no such luck last night. If these are the dregs, a veritable Chateau Lafitte must be phenomenal. — 11 years ago
