Château Lafon Rochet 2013

"The 2013 Lafon Rochet has a light but fresh blackberry and briary-scented bouquet with just a touch of tobacco. The palate is a touch brittle on the entry, but fresh with a keen line of acidity, with a short, rather one-dimensional finish that falls one or two steps short of my expectations from barrel. Drink this over the next 4-8 years." - Neal Martin, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (10/28/2016, Issue 227), Ratings: 86, Drink: 2016-2024

"Owned by a branch of the family that also owns nearby Château Pontet-Canet, this estate is really improving. The 2013 is attractive with ripe fruit and delicious acidity, supported by a firm, dry backdrop of solid tannins. Drink from 2020." - Roger Voss, The Wine Enthusiast (3/2016), Ratings: 92
