Lafite-Rothschild Carruades de Lafite 2014

Dense cassis and black cherry coat the palate with surprising weight for a second wine. Cedar and graphite emerge alongside violet-scented lift that hints at Lafite's breeding. The Cabernet Sauvignon dominance shows in firm, structured tannins that grip without overwhelming. Built for the cellar. Give this another five years to integrate. Drink 2029-2040.
