Carruades de Lafite 1988

Tasting notes

"Well-made and actually more complete and deeper than both the 1989 and 1990, the 1988 shares some of the classic lead pencil, mineral, curranty character that is evidenced in the "grand vin." Spicy and tannic, with fine depth, this wine should evolve well for 7-10 years. "
