Carruades De Lafite 2016 is an elegant, profound red wine from the prestigious Bordeaux region, France. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, it displays an intense ruby color. The nose offers complex aromas of red and black fruits, cedar, and spices. On the palate, it is structured with fine tannins and a persistent finish, ideal with red meats and aged cheeses. It ages for almost two years in oak barrels.
