I think it is ready to drink - but I also see no problem with holding it for some years yet.
95's are generally speaking relatively big and tannic
Second wine of Lafite or not, this is still a cru bourgeois with seven and a half years of bottle age. Cru bourgeois or not, this is still the highly thought of second of LR.
The big question is, how do you like your Bordeaux? Young or old?

The real name is Carruades de Lafite
This Bordeaux is a Pauillac, very rich and complex wine but not an easy wine.
It's a Pauillac AOC not cru bourgeois.
Classification of wine in France is not easy to understand and crus bourgeois is something particular of Bordeaux wines area. Be sure this Pauillac AOC, second wine of Lafite is better than some cru bourgeois.
