Château Lafon Rochet St Estèphe 1855 4ième Cru 2005

These were good years for Lafon Rochet, when it was a little under-the-radar but making good quality, consistent wine, and you’ll find here classic, balanced, old-school St Estèphe flavours. Plenty of ripe red fruits, gentle wafts of blond tobacco aromatics, showcasing the balance and simple charms of the vintage. Tannins frame remains clear, and the acidity is just a little higher than ideal, but plenty of juice and character, and hard to argue with. Harvest September 19 to October 9, 3.6ph.
