Carruades de Lafite 1998 Pauillac

I enjoyed this bottle, which I purchased about seven years ago, at Le Zinc in San Francisco.    1998 was a sub-optimal growing year in Bordeaux, but this Rothschild bottling shows, classic Pencil lead, black fruit, and white pepper on the finish.

$150; 91 points

Bottom Line:  Mature now and drinking well.
