The 2016 Chateau d'Aiguilhe is a Bordeaux Blend from the Cotes de Castillon sub-region of Bordeaux, France. Comprised of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, this red wine was harvested between September 30 and October 18, 2016, and matured in 30% new oak. It has an alcohol content of 14.5%.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate describes this wine as having "a warm and sensual bouquet" with notes of "small macerated black cherries, blueberry, and sloes," and highlights its "medium-bodied" palate with "fine tannin and good body" (Neal Martin, 2017). Wine Spectator praises its "juicy loganberry and black currant fruit" with "light bay, tobacco and violet notes," emphasizing its "fleshy edge" and "emphasis on cut and drive through the finish" (JM, 2019).

James Suckling finds it "very precise" with "dark-berry, sandalwood and light chocolate character," noting its "medium body, firm tannins, and a pretty finish" (2019). Jeb Dunnuck also compliments the wine's "brilliant limestone character" and "vibrant strawberry and black raspberry fruits," calling it "balanced" and "high-quality" (2019).

Decanter finds the wine "still at a youthful stage," noting its "meaty, ferrous nuance" and "dense and structured" palate with "fine but firm tannins" (2021). Jeff Leve, however, gives the wine an outstanding review, describing it as "ripe, lush, sweet" with "silky textures" and a "long, earthy, fruit-filled finish" (2018). He suggests this could be "the best vintage of d'Aiguilhe produced yet."

Overall, the 2016 Chateau d'Aiguilhe is a well-received Bordeaux blend, praised for its fruit complexity, structure, and aging potential. It is recommended to drink now or let it age for further development.
