Pretty aromas of menthol and other spices and red fruits. Full to medium body with fine tannins and a refined finish. Very lovely now but obviously better in 2015.

Tiefes Purpur, satt in der Mitte, Granatschimmer am Rand. Röstiges, eher warmes Bouquet, zeigt Schwarzbrotnoten und Kaffee darunter Dörrpflaumen. Eleganter Gaumen, schöne Cabernet-Expression, fein und lang, dürfte vielleicht etwas mehr Druck aufzeigen um bei den grösseren Saint Estèphes mit zu halten. warten (2017 - 2034)

Juicy and very lively, with lots of briar, currant, cherry, toasty spice and anise notes all framed by bright floral and iron hints. The long finish has excellent cut and drive. Best from 2013 through 2021.

This wine seems to be one of the few that has not yet recovered from bottling. In a somewhat monolithic, latched-down style, it has plenty of stuffing, lots of structure and an impressive dark ruby/purple color, but it is very hard to coax from the glass. It is a rather classic St.-Estephe made by the Tesseron family, with its distinctive blood orange label, but this wine seems to beg for another 5-7 years of bottle age. The final blend of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc has some impressive fruit, but the wine just seems slightly more clipped and narrow than I remember it from barrel. Hopefully, time will mellow out this impression.

Château Lafon Rochet
Questa tenuta fa risalire la propria storia indietro nel tempo fino al XVI secolo. Per oltre duecento anni appartenne alla famiglia Lafon, che riuscì a conservarne la proprietà durante i tempi difficili della Rivoluzione Francese. I Lafon riuscirono anche a vederne il riconoscimento definitivo con la Classificazione del 1855, quando il Lafon-Rochet è stato ammesso nel selezionatissimo club dei Grand Cru, che a Saint-Estèphe erano solo cinque. In posizione ideale tra Cos d’Estournel e Lafite-Rothschild a sud, Lafon-Rochet possiede alcuni dei migliori vigneti del mondo. Non è difficile capire perché Guy Tesseron, ben noto per la qualità del suo vecchio Cognac, quarant’anni fa decise di acquistare la proprietà. Egli arrivò presto alla conclusione che non valeva la pena salvare gli edifici esistenti e li demolì completamente passando a costruire sia nuove cantine, sia un nuovo castello sulla base dei progetti di una chartreuse (casa padronale) del XVII secolo, che a Bordeaux è unica nel suo genere. Grazie a costanti cure e attenzioni, il Lafon-Rochet è sicuramente uno dei vini migliori di Saint-Estèphe.
