  September 5, 2023 - Bordeaux 2022 barrel samples and some additional vintages (Solliden in Stockhom): This wine was served a bit colder than many others at the tasting event.
  The reason could be the slightly bitter? aftertaste.

  May 8, 2023 - Rich in color, the wine is floral, with pepper, spice, tobacco leaf, currants, and blackberries. Medium-bodied, fresh, soft, ripe, round, and polished, with blackberries, black cherries, chocolate, spice, and cedar nuances. The fruits are fresh, bright, and creamy. Give this just a few years in the bottle and it promise to be even better! The wine was made from blending 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, and 4% Cabernet Franc. 14.5% ABV, 3.77 pH. This is the first vintage with the new owner, Jackie Lorenzetti, and the team of Emmanuel Cruse, fully in charge. Drink from 2025-2045. 94-96 Pts.

  May 1, 2023 - 96 vvPunkte / OMG, diese Nase ist ein Spektakel, sensationell komplex, viel reife Frucht, florale Töne, Brombeeren, Kirschen, Tabak, Laub, ein Gedicht. Der Gaumen ist top strukturiert, ungemein dicht, ein Mund voll Wein, mit knackiger Frucht, sensationeller Struktur, die Tannine sind von höchster Güte, das ist ein sensationeller Lafon-Roche mit grossen Reserven. 2030-2060 (Verkostet "En Primeur" im April 2023 / Vintex / Château Ripeau) #primeurs22 www.vvWine.ch

  April 24, 2023 - Complex, deep, dense... A lot of tension on the palate, very big.
  
  Promising but will need loads of time.

  April 23, 2023 - En Primeur campaign for the 2022 vintage Day Two (Bordeaux): Very slightly baked black fruits; blackcurrant; plum, a little pencil shavings, sweet spice. Medium plus intensity acidity, quite hard and bitter and a little sour. Tannins are drying. Better than last year but it feels like they still need time to get to know the vineyard (note - Lafon Rochet changed hands September 2021)
