  2009 - Carruades de Lafite 2nd wine of Ch. Lafite Rothschild 
This is a dense full bodied wine that will be absurdly expensive in relation to it good quality.It will be interesting to see the opening price and whether Ch Lafite-Rothschild will bow to the inevitable demand from the Far East. (MFW 91-93)(RP 92-94) Drink Date

Tasted at 9.00am in the morning, gave us all a beautiful fillip to the days tasting. Medium bodied but with firm tannins.

  2009 - Ch. Cos D'Estournel 2nd Cru Classe St. Estephe 
This is a most remarkable wine with tannin levels of 99 and 14.5% alcohol. This is mind blowing.

Difficult to give a MFW rating, but with a question (MFW 93-96?)(RP98-100) Drink Date
