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.

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

The 2014 Lafon-Rochet is medium to deep garnet in color. Scents of plum pudding, licorice, and dried leaves slowly emerge from the glass, followed by hints of Indian spices, dried blackberries, and incense. The medium-bodied palate has nice harmony, with soft tannins and a spicy finish.Lisa Perrotti-Brown5th March 2024
