The Carpineto Vino Nobile Riserva 2018 is a full-bodied, meticulously crafted Tuscan wine from the esteemed vineyards of Carpineto. Nestled in the rugged terroir of Montepulciano, Carpineto's expertise has been perfected over five decades, culminating in this splendid Riserva. The 2018 vintage presents a compelling blend of Sangiovese and Canaiolo, matured in Slovenian oak barrels for two years, the firm but refined tannins devolve elegantly with age. A classic representation of the area, this expressive wine enrobes the palate with a melody of dark cherry, blackberry and subtle spice, enhanced by a fine, unbroken finish. The unparalleled depth of the Carpineto Vino Nobile Riserva 2018, alongside its ageing potential, delights even the most discerning connoisseurs. A hands-down achiever, Carpineto's commitment to sustainable viticulture and traditional wine-making has once again paid off handsomely. |

Wine Advocate (86-88)I have noticed in my tastings that the second wine of Lafite-Rothschild, Carruades de Lafite, has improved over recent years. The 1996, a blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon and 37% Merlot, may turn out to be the finest Carruades I have ever tasted. It possesses as much power, ripeness, and fleshy fruit (because of the high percentage of Merlot) as I have ever detected in this offering. While it does not quite have the characteristics of Lafite, being fleshier and more accessible, it is a beautifully made wine with a subtle dosage of toasty new oak, an appealing texture, and excellent length. Given its power, this second wine will need 2-4 years of cellaring, and keep for 15+ years (I would not be surprised to see it last for two decades). |

Wine Enthusiast (91)Though this is the second wine for Lafite-Rothschild, it is a major wine in its own right, with its dense, powered fruit and a structure obviously built to last. There is sweet, rich fruit and lively vibrant acidity. Imported by Domaines Barons de Rothschild and multiple U.S. importers. |

Wine Advocate (90)The second wine, the 2007 Carraudes de Lafite, is nearly equal parts Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon with tiny dollops of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. A sleeper of the vintage, it offers sexy, ripe berry fruit intermixed with hints of cedarwood, forest floor, and underbrush. This plump, corpulent, fruity effort reveals a velvety texture as well as a lush finish. Enjoy it over the next 8-10 years. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (90+)The tannins in the 2014 Carruades de Lafite are nearly buried by the richness of the fruit. Even so, the wine needs at least a few years in barrel, as it is pretty tightly wound at this stage. The combination of plush dark fruit and bright acidity is compelling. Hints of blood orange, flowers and spices hint at what the Grand Vin will offer in time. The blend is 58 % Cabernet Sauvignon and 42 % Merlot. Carruades de Lafite represents 25 % of the château's production. |
