The influence of the ocean and the estuary balanced a hot summer with high temperatures in 2015. Water stress was high, but the rains of August brought the freshness necessary for perfect maturation. The ideal conditions were reunited at harvest time, allowing the best of each plot to be obtained. 2015 presents good depth and plenty of complexity with notes of fresh strawberries and tobacco, in which the wood has become perfectly integrated. The attack is simultaneously supple and very powerful but not at all aggressive, it continues with great length, and in perfect harmony. This vintage is composed of 91% Cabernet Sauvignon & 9% Merlot.

Critic Reviews
James Suckling
99 Points
99 Points, James Suckling: "Lead and graphite are complimented by notes of blueberries and blackberries. Blackcurrants, too. Full-bodied and focused with very round and polished tannins. Elegance with power. Very classic nature for Lafite. Try in 2022." 2/18

Rich, powerful and enveloping, the 2015 Lafite-Rothschild is endowed with serious volume and textural resonance. Super-ripe plum, smoke and spice notes emerge in the glass, but only with great reluctance. Although the aromatics aren't giving much at this point, the palate is much more expressive. The wine's sheer power and authoritative tone result in an unusually dramatic Lafite. The 2015 is 91% Cabernet Sauvignon and 9% Merlot that spent 20 months in oak, which is a bit more than the norm.
