Château Lafon Rochet 2008 Red (Saint-Estèphe)
Dark tannins provide the structured for the Cabernet Sauvignon black currant flavors. It has power—this is a big and solid wine, given tension by tannins, that will take several years to soften out.

Château Lafon Rochet 2005 Barrel sample Red (Saint-Estèphe)
- Online Exclusive
89-91 Barrel sample. While there are superripe fruit aromas, the structure of this wine is totally solid. Somewhere lurking under the shell is huge black fruit, but now it is dark and very dry .

Château Lafon Rochet 2009 Barrel sample Red (Saint-Estèphe)
- Online Exclusive
88-90 Barrel sample. Sweet vanilla aroma, fruit that is ripe, soft, fleshy. This seems to have suffered from super-mature, fruit, although a final juiciness does help.
