CRITIC REVIEWS
Antonio Galloni
The 2020 Lafon-Rochet represents the essence of classicism in Bordeaux. Medium in body and finely-cut, Lafon-Rochet is one of the classiest, more refined Saint-Estephes readers will come across. Dark fruit, earthiness, lavender, licorice, menthol and cloves add nuance, but it is the wine's balance and vibrancy that impress most. Give the tannins a few years to melt away. Superb.

Cask sample. Bitter black fruit with a vein of herbal character in the background. Saline and savoury. Reasonably firm structure. Old-fashioned and tight. (RH)
