Opus One 2014

Tasting Note: The 2014 vintage was precocious –marked by the earliest bud break in our history.Timely rainfall and a continuation of mild and dryconditions throughout the year allowed thegrapevines to support the slightly higher-than-expected yields. Following a near-perfect growingseason, harvest commenced on September 5thjust as the grapes reflected an ideal balancebetween freshness and concentration. After anearly rainstorm, there was a brief pause; but thesuccinct harvest was completed on October 7th.

The 2014 Opus One exudes subtle aromas offragrant florals, fresh garden herbs and forestfloor that give way to a concentrated blend of redcherry, blackberry and black currant. After a silkyentry, dark fruit flavors emerge with hints ofbaking spice and black olive. Fine-grained tanninsoffer a velvety texture and complex structure thatbuilds to a long, vibrantly fresh finish with a touchof mocha. Enjoyable now, the wine will delight foryears to come.

Carruades de Lafite 2009

Château Lafite Rothschild’s second wine,Carruades de Lafite presents similarcharacteristics to the Grand Vin, but with its ownpersonality linked to a higher proportion ofMerlot and to specific plots that are used toproduce Carruades. The name comes from theCarruades plateau, a group of plots acquired in1845 just next to the vines on the Château hilltop.

Carruades de Lafite 200993 points as rated by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Tasting note: A very strong effort, the 2009 Carruadesde Lafite may be the finest Carruades since the 2003.A blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot andtiny amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, itreveals lots of sweet cassis intermixed with subtlesmoke and forest floor, undeniable lusciousness andfull-bodied hedonism. The wood component is pushedto the background, and the wine is extremely viscous,round and delicious. Additional complexity shouldcontinue to emerge over the next decade and this2009 should keep for 20-30 years.
