Château Lafon Rochet St Estèphe 1855 4ième Cru 2014

You feel the depth compared to the smaller estates of the appellation, with powerful, chalky and textured tannins. Autumnal fruits dominante, of cassis and bilberry, earth and smoked cedar, good quality, still plenty of character to unfurl over the next five to 10 years, just a little short. Harvest October 1 to 17. Tesseron family at the time (today this is owned by Jacky Lorenzetti).
