Showing the heat of the vintage, the 2009 Lafon-Rochet is a plush, medium bodied Saint Estephe with gorgeous ripples of blackberry, boysenberry, coconut cream and balsamic. There is little to no perceptible tannin and gentle acidity, making this a supple drinker now that should probably be enjoyed in the near term.

Near Pauillac, similar soil to Costes. Very distinct pepper notes.

Garnet & opaque. Smell: floral, tobacco, milder than others tasted at same time. Taste: strong softer tannins, well balanced alcohol, light blackberry, long finish, slight vanilla.

Oct 29th, 2017Stunning! Shared at luncheon hosted by Château de Lescours on 4/9/16. Beautifully harmonious, balanced, fully mature but not over the hill. Rich mouth-feel, almost chewy (in a good way).
