Description
Chateau Lafon Rochet 1996St. Estephe
3sdc
Magnum (4)
"One of the sleepers of the 1996 vintage, Lafon-Rochet has turned out an atypically powerful, rich, and concentrated wine bursting with black currant fruit. The opaque purple color gives way to a medium to full-bodied, tannic, backward wine with terrific purity, a sweet, concentrated mid-palate, and a long, blockbuster finish. This wine remains one of the finest values from the luxury-priced 1996 vintage, and is well-worth purchasing by readers who are willing to invest 5-6 years of patience; it should keep for two decades." (90 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #122, Apr. 1999)
"Blackberry and licorice aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long finish." (90 pts. JS, WineSpectator.com, 2007)
