Hello wine lovers,
I recently won a case of Les Carruades Des Lafite '99 in a competition. I have been assured it has been stored correctly and i am storing it in a wine cellar belonging to an in-law. I dont know much about wine and ws wondering if anyone knows anything about this wine and would like to share their knowledge with me.
Thanks
Damen S

Spec's in Houston currently has it for $382.47 per case, or $34.93 per bottle. Haven't seen a review of it (you could probably find some with a Google search), but I'd hold it for a few years anyway.
Welcome to the board.

My guess is that it will drink fine in the '07 to '08 timeframe.

Recently tasted a bottle at Esquin. Big wine with a touch of lanolin on the nose and a big, sweet limestone note on the palate. Blackberries, candied cherry, and stewed plum, along with a bit of graphite on the palate. Closed now but promises a nice graceful maturity in maybe '07-'09.
