1 case (12 bottles) CARRUADES DE LAFITE ROTHSCHILD, 1999 2nd WINE OF CH. LAFITE ROTHSCHILD, PAUILLAC Tasting note: The 1999 Carruades de Lafite is made in the style of its bigger sibling. It reveals graphite, lead pencil, black currant, and cedary aromas, medium body, sweet glycerin, and a gorgeously expansive texture and palate. The wine is long and Lafite-like, and is unbelievably impressive. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2015. Score - 89. (Robert Parker Jr.,

David, I don't usually post about FS posts (which are generally discouraged around here), but I find myself shocked by this price. Is the Vintages price truly over $900US/cs? I know I've seen this wine for $40-45US/bottle in NY several times recently, and never thought that was a particular bargain.

Hmmm, even if I pay for healthcare I'm ahead in US!

Never ahead on that issue, but the Carruades 1999 should be less than $US50 per bottle, even without the digitalis.
