Carruades de Lafite - 2003 (750ml) Ruth Chris Notes of licorice91 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
