In a few words ...
Made from the oldest vines in the vineyard, they produce less fruit, but offer greater complexity. Lafon-Rochet is both simple and complex, expressing black fruit aromas in most vintages. There's a real Saint-Estèphe mellowness and expression, a certain warmth and roundness born of the Merlot grape. J. Suckling : 93-94/100
Tasting notes

Dense, dark garnet color, drawing on purple in its youth.
Aroma
The bouquet reveals notes of cassis, violet, mocha, vanilla, spices and licorice.

Taste
The wines of Saint-Estèphe have strong tannins and thus reach their maturity more slowly than most other medals. They offer black fruits, a note of freshness, often a woody or smoky aspect and a floral touch.
