Chateau Lafon Rochet 4eme Cru 2005

Meget mørk rubinrød med sorte refleksioner. Chic, moden Bordeaux-næse med en fin underskovskarakter, søde og sure kirsebær, blomme, let cassis, laurbærblad og læder. Let tobak, lidt cigarkasse. God fylde af rig tannin og fint tryk af salt mineralitet i munden. Fine ristede smagsnuancer, lidt kaffe, let kakao og grillede bæraromaer. Blomme- og kirsebærsødme i midten af ganen med en medium finish. Ganske god balance i det hele taget. En klassisk elegant Lafon-Rochet fra gamle dage, som nu befinder sig i et vidunderligt drikkevindue med godt 20 års modenhed under bæltet. En virkelig elegant vin uden at være særlig stor.

Galloni om: Chateau Lafon Rochet 4eme Cru

The 2005 Lafon-Rochet has a very expressive bouquet with raspberry, blackberry, briary, black pepper and light sous-bois scents. The palate is medium-bodied with tobacco-tinged red and black fruit, beautifully balanced with good substance. This is fresh and saline on the finish. The 2005 is a really superb Lafon-Rochet that will continue to drink well for several years. Tasted at the Lafon-Rochet vertical at the property.

Jane Anson om: Chateau Lafon Rochet 4eme Cru

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.

Parker om: Chateau Lafon Rochet 4eme Cru

Tasted single blind at Southwold. This has a fine blackberry, cedar-infused nose with good definition - tightly coiled and certainly needing more time. Very good concentration, fine tannins, quite succulent for a Saint Estephe but very well poised with fine sense of mineralite on the finish. Imbued with femininity, which is unusual. Good depth and cohesion. This remains an excellent Lafon-Rochet although its still needs time. Drink 2015-2025. Tasted January 2009.

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Lafon Rochet 4eme Cru

Outstanding aromatics of darker currants, blackberries, spice, and saddle leather all emerge from the 2005 Château Lafon-Rochet, a medium to full-bodied, round, ripe, sexy Saint-Estephe that has beautiful fruit, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It’s drinking great today yet should have another 15+ years of prime drinking. It’s a beautiful wine that has tons of character.

Lafon Rochet

De 40 hektar vinmarker på Lafon Rochet ligger lige ved siden af Lafite-Rothschild og Cos d'Estournel. Tesseron-familien (bror til ejeren af Pontet-Canet) lod ejendommen totalrenovere i 1960'erne og indførte en række tekniske nyskabelser i kælderen.
