Carruades de Lafite 2020 – Pauillac

On the nose, fresh, fruity, offering a pulpiness, a nice fleshiness of the fruit. Notes of fresh blackberry/ripe small black fruit and more slightly fresh/ripe cherries associated with camphor, fresh raspberry, cornflower, lily as well as graphite, discrete hint of sweet spices and tea. The palate is fruity and offers juiciness, freshness, good definition, some tension as well as an airy side and richness (in balance). On the palate it expresses notes of pulpy/juicy cherry, fresh/ripe raspberry and fresh blackberry combined with hints of fresh cornflower, lily, small bright blue fruits as well as fine hints of tobacco, nutmeg, cardamom, a discreet hint of sweet blond tobacco, fine hints of chocolate (in the background). Good length. The tannins are precise, structuring, fine and mellow. A nice sapidity with persistence.
