Lafon Rochet Saint Estephe 2015

This Saint-Estèphe, which is marked by its rounded, delicately fruity substance with an abundance of refinement, offers remarkable value for money.

Deep in color, with cedar wood, spice, blackberry and gravel scents, this medium/full bodied, tannic, masculine wine requires time before the ample tannins soften and everything comes together.

Tasting Notes:

Very perfumed with blackberries, blueberries and cloves. Dried lavender as well. Full body and linear and refined tannins. Pretty spices come together with the clean fruit at the end. Hard not to drink now but two or three years of bottle age will pull it together. Drink in 2020.
