Description

"Perhaps the finest Lafon-Rochet ever made,the purity,freshness,and sweet,rich,blueberry and boysenberry fruit and hint of pen ink that are found in this opaque purple-colored wine are impressive.Massive in the mouth,with freshness,delineation,and sweet tannin,it is a major sleeper of the vintage that should last for 25+ years.(Tasted two times).Drink: 2010-2035".

Robert Parker. (The Wine Advocate. #188. April 2010. Robert Parker added an asterisk to this wine to signify that it is a wine he considerds has the finest potential of all the offerings he has ever tasted from this estate in nearly 32years of barrel tasting samples in Bordeaux).


"A sample taken on 23rd March tasted at the property.A blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon,24% Merlot,3% Petit Verdot and 1% vin de presse,a pH of 3.65 and alcohol 13.5%,with 50% matured in new oak.This has a tightly wound that unfurls nicely over 15 minutes,a nice minerality here,really exposed at the moment.Blackberry,a touch of raspberry,wild hedgerow,very pure and refined.The palate is medium-bodied,firm tannins,quite tight at the moment,very focused,gentle grip,and racy acidity towards the finish.Very Cabernet dominated finish,more structure than usual thanks to the higher percentage,perhaps just needing to flesh out on the finish,although that should come with extended barrel ageing. (N.B. A second sample at a negociant showed more flesh and suppleness towards the finish).Tasted, March 2010".
(91-93 Points).

Neal Martin. (eRobertParker.com April 2010).


"Black red,colour sticks to the glass,big smoky Cabernet cassis nose,excellent natural concentration,intense yet lifted fruit,lots of succulence and lots of grip,a really well-expressed,well-made wine with a very good future.Drink 2015-2030".
(17.5/20 Points).
