Château Lafon-Rochet Saint-Estèphe 1995

This wine may merit an outstanding score after several more years in the bottle. Although it has closed down since bottling, it is an impressively endowed, rich, sweet cassis-smelling and tasting Lafon-Rochet. The wine's impressively saturated deep ruby/purple colour is accompanied by vanillin, earth, and spicy scents, medium to full body, excellent to the outstanding richness, and moderate tannin in the powerful, well-delineated finish.
