強度戰勝一切的一支酒。接近30年的陳年，仍有着這樣的強度是十分難得的。酒有着標誌性的波爾多左岸紅酒感覺，但是除此之外在沒有什麼令人覺得驚喜的地方，酒味在口中的複雜性簡單了不少，餘韻亦比想像中短，幾好喝。但這酒在口中的複雜性真的令我覺得簡單了⋯⋯

2004 Carruades de Lafite

A deep purple coloured dry red wine with quite high intensity aromas of blackcurrant, menthol, black plum, cedar, earth and touch of pencil. It has medium acidity, alcohol and fuller than medium bodied. Fine-grained medium tannin too. On palate it gives slightly higher than medium flavours of black cherry, licorice, earth and touch of smoke and graphite. Medium length with black cherry finish. (91)

表現頗穩定的一枝副牌酒。酒香強而吸引，複雜性亦高。口感亦有著拉菲的優雅均衡感。酒味的複雜性一如大部份2004年酒一樣比較弱了點，這亦反映了在其餘韻上。可口，不錯的酒，但以現今的價格有點不值。

1989 Carruades de Lafite Rothschild

This wine still possesses deep purple colour. It has fairly high noses of bell pepper, mushroom, earth, black plum and touch of violet and vegetal. Dry with medium acidity, alcohol and bodied with barely medium silky tannin. On palate it gives medium intensity flavours of black cherry, herbaceous and touch of licorice and earth. Slightly longer than medium length with black cherry finish. (88)

這副牌酒顯示了充分發展的酒味，甚至有點過態。酒香及酒味也有一點複雜性，力度也不弱，餘韻也可以，但酒的架構已有鬆散的跡象，相信早一兩年飲會更好。
