Merchant's description

Lafite Rothschild 2016 is a Pauillac First Growth Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated blend, featuring a proportion of Merlot. The wine presents a deep garnet hue. Aromas of blackcurrants, blueberries and subtle herbal notes are complemented by hints of cedar and graphite. On the palate, it is structured with a firm tannin profile, underscored by minerality and a balanced acidity. The sustained finish reveals earthy nuances.
