The 2001 Lafon-Rochet has a delightful bouquet with more fruit intensity, brambly red fruit, rose petals, touches of sous-bois, open and well-defined. The palate is medium-bodied with soft tannins, very lithe with fleshy red fruit, maybe missing a little structure on the finish, but for sheer drinkability, this comes recommended. Tasted at the Lafon-Rochet vertical at the property.
Big and bloody on the nose. Lots of fruit and suppleness. A very ambitious wine. Good stuff. Fills all the corners of the palate. Very long and powerful with a strong expression of Saint-Estèphe. Very clean finish.
