The 2014 Château Lafon-Rochet is a well-crafted blend comprising 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Petit Verdot. Representing a commendable example of this classic Bordeaux vintage, particularly successful in the northern Médoc, it displays a youthful deep colour with lingering hints of purple. The aromatic profile is characterized by notes of cassis and cedar. Abundant ripe tannins and balanced acidity contribute to a wine that exhibits overall harmony and plenty of flavour.

Vinous
The 2014 Lafon-Rochet is more concentrated on the nose than the Pagodes de Cos that precedes it: blackberry briar and melted tar, gaining delineation with aeration. The oak is well integrated. The palate is medium-bodied, with sapid black fruit and iodine, and there is a noticeable marine influence towards the finish. Moderate length. Drink now and over the next decade, possibly more. Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting. Neal Martin19th March 2024
