a brilliant wine that shares some similarities with the formidable 1996, the 2021 lafite rothschild wafts from the glass with inviting aromas of dark berries, cigar box, loamy soil, black truffle and violets. medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it's rich and concentrated, with beautifully powdery tannins, lively acids and a long, saline finish. of course, this isn't as dramatic as the 2020 or 2019 out of the gates, but the 2021 is a brilliant success in its own right. what's more, its structure and balance mean that it is likely to prove almost immortal. it's a blend of 96% cabernet sauvignon, 3% merlot and 1% petit verdot, which is one of the all-time highest percentages of cabernet sauvignon chez lafite.
