Overview

The 2016 Lafite Rothschild is a blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Merlot, with 15% of the press wine contributing to the blend this year. Deep purple-black in color, it slowly reveals the most gorgeous perfume of kirsch, lilacs, black raspberries and warm blackcurrants with underlying nuances of cigar box, rose hip tea, cloves, licorice and pencil lead plus a waft of garrigue. Medium-bodied and built like a brick house with a firm yet beautifully ripe, finely pixelated tannic backbone and seamless freshness supporting the amazing intensity of black fruits and floral layers, it finishes very long and provocatively perfumed.

The 2016 Lafite-Rothschild has a very perfumed bouquet with violet-infused black fruit, cedar and sous-bois, very precise and focused. The palate is precise and framed by extraordinarily fine tannins; not powerful, yet the intensity is amazing. Brilliant mineralité towards the finish that fans out beautifully. Wow. Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting. By Neal Martin February 2026
