toffee apples and graphite

seamless array of perfectly ripe dark fruit

Palate: Lively and delicious

structured and develops notes of liquorice then undergrowth

and blue fruits that morphed into exotic paprika

2000 | Château Lafon-Rochet Saint-Estèphe | Saint-Estèphe Jules Taylor toffee apples and graphiteOne of the better wines (and also reasonably priced) to emerge from this property over recent years, this dense ruby purple colored wine shows a complex nose of earth, underbrush, creosote, creme de cassis, and dried herbs. Sporting a new yellow orange label that matches the dramatic paint job on the chateau itself, the wine has a deep ruby purple color, medium to full body, fine ripeness as well as purity, and moderate tannin in the finish.
