2009 Château Lafon-Rochet
4/26/2024 - englishman's claret wrote: 89 Points
Stocky, broad, fleshy; nothing subtle about the 2009 Lafon Rochet. Blackberry, cherry, plum, and wet clay round out the nose and while there’s a little bit of crystalline clean focus in the mouth it’s just a glimpse. Brett rears its head a bit, mild enough but noticeable. Solidly built, satisfying if straightforward. The alcohol is pretty well balanced here, though it makes itself conspicuous at times.

2001 Château Calon-Ségur
4/22/2024 - englishman's claret wrote: 92 Points
The 2001 Calon Ségur has a serious disposition, austere rather than generous but appealing nonetheless with a nose full of red cherry, redcurrant, juniper, warm cedar, and Iberian ham. Rather austere in the mouth, the fruit reluctant but the tannin present front and center! Lithe and well-proportioned, this offers plenty of pleasure in its slightly introverted way.
