2010 Chateau Lafon Rochet 4eme Grand Cru Classe Pre-Arrival Offer

Proprietor Basile Tesseron may have produced his finest Lafon Rochet to date. The 2010’s inky/blue/purple color is followed by a distinctive bouquet of spring flowers, blueberry pie, blackberry liqueur and crushed rocks. Although a classified growth, this wine is an undeniable sleeper of the vintage as its price remains reasonable. The wine possesses terrific structure, ripe tannins and a voluminous, broad, deep impression on the palate. The fruit intensity, purity and richness suggest 4-5 years of cellaring will be required and the wine will last for 20+ years.Drink 2015-2035.
Score: 92-94
