Domaines Barons de Rothschild Reserve Speciale Pauillac 2016

Winery

Domaines Barons de Rothschild Reserve Speciale Pauillac 2016 is a wine made from the young vines of Chateau Duhart Milon and Chateau Lafite Rothschild. Drinkable from the cellar, this easy-to-use Pauillac needs only an hour in a decanter to reveal its charm and personality. The 2016 vintage is undoubtedly a modern classic, and its precise, detailed and concentrated style is undoubtedly the best vintage to experience its brand. The classic “5 Arrows” wine label is a guarantee of quality under the name of the Lafite Rothschild Group.

Wine

The 2016 harvest weaves the keys to what a great vintage should be. Lafite rarely has a strong aroma, and the real aroma needs to be absorbed from the glass. After a few minutes, notes of cool blackberry jam, warm slate, fresh tobacco, cedar, violets, and graphite are found. It presents the typical style of the Chateau Lafite Rothschild.
