“A brilliant second wine, the 2000 Carruades de Lafite…shows wonderfully sweet lead pencil shavings intermixed with an elegant black cherry and cassis nose. A wine of tremendous purity, medium body, and the tell-tale Lafite elegance, this is a gorgeous wine…” – Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate 04/03
“Lafite’s second wine has become stronger over recent vintages as the selection for the grand vin has become Draconian under administrator Charles Chevalier...” – Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate 06/06
“The second wine, which has soared in quality over the last decade, is an outstanding effort displaying a character similar to that of Lafite…” – Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate 02/09

Tips on placing a successful bid:
Research current retail and auction price data at www.wineprices.com to determine a fair and realistic bid price.
Consider that the seller is charged a 15% to 20% commission, as well as shipping (if the wine is not in Vinfolio storage).
Note the location from which you'd like your wine to be sourced. Wine in Vinfolio storage can usually be fulfilled more quickly upon bid acceptance.
Make sure the quantity you are bidding on is actually available in the Marketplace.
Remember, sellers are not obligated to sell their wine, but placing a fair and realistic bid will improve your chances of success.
