Showing lots of ripe currant, plum, tobacco, Asian spice, and cedar pencil aromatics, it's medium to full-bodied, has nicely integrated acidity, and just seamless tannins. It's beautifully done and well worth seeking out. It's going to evolve for 20-25 years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e94 points Wine Spectator\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRipe and sleek, delivering cassis, damson plum, loganberry and mulberry notes that glisten, with iron, anise, black tea and savory accents. Offers lovely precision and poise, even as the fruit flirts with an exotic blend. Mouthwatering finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2023 through 2038. Tasted twice, with consistent notes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e93 points Vinous\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2019 Lafon-Rochet is tightly-wound on the nose, yet it seems delineated and focused, mineral-laden black fruit, sous-bois and dried tobacco scents unfurling in the glass. The palate is impressive with good concentration on the entry. This has an arching structure, fine acidity, off dry and slightly austere on the finish, but there is clearly the substance to ensure that it will age with style. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TWINS BORDEAUX, AMERICA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52105112125687,"sku":"PJ03343","price":49.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/4084\/2436\/files\/ChateauLafonRochet_82d8df65-889d-4759-ac63-f0fb8df5fb98.jpg?v=1793993951","url":"https:\/\/pjwine.com\/products\/chateau-lafon-rochet-saint-estephe-2019","provider":"PJ Wine, Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
