2014 Château Lafon-RochetSt. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend more |
5/12/2024 - ChristoBretts Likes this wine: 92 pointsDecanted and drank over three days. Black and blue fruit on the nose and palate. Wet pavement, cut brick. Tannin still a bit lively. Another nice 2014 that is coming into it's own, slowly. I love the fact that the didn't oak it into submission. Good now, but will definitely be better in a year or so and I will try to wait to pop another until then. |

2023 Château Lafon-RochetSt. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend more |
5/4/2024 - Jeff Leve wrote: 93 pointsBlackberries, black cherries, spice, and tobacco leaves with a touch of spice fill the nose. On the palate, the wine is vibrant, soft, and polished with ripe, brisk tannins, and a chewy, fresh, peppery finish. The wine was made from blending 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, and 4% Cabernet Franc. 13.35%. This is only the second vintage with the new owner, Jackie Lorenzetti, and the team of Emmanuel Cruse fully in charge. Drink from 2028-2045. 92-94 Pts. |

5/2/2024 - englishman's claret wrote: 89 pointsThe 2008 Lafon Rochet is a serious, slightly ungiving wine, uncoiling slowly - perhaps reluctantly! The nose of red hard candies, red licorice, and charcoal grows on me. This still bracingly tannic in the mouth, really demanding at least another 5 years before you might consider drinking it with food. |

4/26/2024 - englishman's claret wrote: 91 pointsThe 2009 Lafon Rochet shows a stocky, broad, fleshy character for the first few hours in the decanter, trading on power and ripeness rather than nuance. Blackberry, cherry, plum, and wet clay fill the nose, but there’s a little bit of perfectly ripe mixed berry character on the palate that does nothing but build and develop when revisited 12 hours later. An initial whiff of Brett seems to blow off and a slightly prominent alcohol at the outset seems to integrate, boding well for the future. Even if this will never be a profound wine, holding it another 5 years will likely repay the patient owner handsomely. |

4/12/2024 - englishman's claret wrote: 87 pointsLafon Rochet certainly shows the vintage character with a nose of cooked and dried fruits: prune, cooked fig, and kirsch. Paradoxically the palate offers fresher fruit at times - still sweet but not stewed - and accented by a little floral appeal and soy sauce. Despite its 21 years, the palate remains grippingly tannic. Happily the 14% ABV (as labeled) doesn't seem particularly conspicuous. Striking Lapsang souchong, beef blood finish. This bottle, in excellent condition, requires some time for the fruit to awaken on the palate and shows its best with 30 minutes - 2 hours of time in the decanter. This has its merits, but the nose is marked enough by the vintage that I find it hard to love. I could imagine that more vivacity earlier in life could have imparted a better impression than tonight's bottle. |

3/29/2024 - cvst Likes this wine: 92 pointsCompletely soaked cork, removed in several pieces. Mature claret, impressively well alive! Nose of dry and ripe cherry with old leather. On the palate dry herbs, fading signs of dried fruit, coffee, forest floor, pencil shavings leaning towards iron and blood. With good grip and great balance. Not just drinkable but really enjoyable with good persistence through the night |

3/9/2024 - Xavier Auerbach wrote: 92 pointsTenth bottle from two full cases purchased en primeur from a reputable Dutch merchant. Pristine bottle, not decanted as it did not seem to need it. Showing well, and holding up well on the second day. Black fruit, lead pencil, flowers and cream, blonde tobacco, good weight (14% ABV) and freshness, finely grained tannins, minty finish with very good length. Drinking well now and over the next decade. |

3/9/2024 - Jeff Leve wrote: 91 pointsFlowers, mint, espresso, tobacco leaf, herbs, currants, and black raspberries for the core of this medium-bodied, soft, energetic, wine. The palate is lively, with a leafy, herbal, peppery red currant endnote. This is the final vintage for the Tesseron family. Subsequent vintages will be produced by Jackie Lorenzetti, along with the team of Emmanuel Cruse, the new owner of the property. You can expect big things from this wine in the future. Drink from 2025-2040. |
