FINE+RARE, Apr 2020

This 2016 Réserve Spéciale Pauillac is a Cabernet Sauvignon / Merlot blend that combines wines from their properties in the Pauillac appellation. Created in a similar style to the Châteaux wines, this has all the elegance and finesse you associate with the Lafite Rothschild name. It offers a particularly fresh and timeless Pauillac profile and, coming from the fantastic 2016 vintage, it is ready for immediate drinking thanks to its soft, silky tannins - yet also shows the potential to evolve beautifully for several more years.The 2016 vintage has been praised for producing wines with great subtlety and complexity. A classic vintage that reminds James Suckling of "the great wines of the 1980s" but with "much more precision and clarity due to advances in viticulture and winemaking since then".
