Wine critics reviewsReviews by Parker, Jancis Robinson, and Suckling

The 2017 Carruades de Lafite is a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, it prances out of the glass with joyful notions of black cherries, redcurrant jelly and cassis plus hints of kirsch, cedar chest, pencil lead and a waft of raspberry leaves. Medium-bodied, the palate possesses bags of poise and freshness, dishing out lots of bright red and black fruits with a soft, finely grained frame, finishing long with a skip in its step.

— Lisa Perrotti-Brown (16/03/2020)Robert Parker Wine Advocate Vintage 2017 - 91 PARKER

Tasted blind. Deep ruby colour. Forest fruit and blueberries here, with some sweet pastries. Soft and a bit smudgy, there is lots of ripe, succulent and brambly fruit. Good intensity and ripe in tannin, this will drink well young but will hopefully gain clarity with a few years in bottle.

— Tom Parker (16/09/2021)JancisRobinson.com Vintage 2017 - 16 JANCIS ROBINSON

So much rich, sweet tobacco with currants and spices, as well as graphite. Full-bodied, tight and focused with oyster-shell and lead-pencil character on the palate. Tangy, spicy and peppery. Needs three to four years to soften, but already beautiful.
