About Chateau Lafon Rochet
Chateau Lafon-Rochet has always been good. However, since being purchased in 1960 by the Tesseron family (the owners of Pontet-Canet in Pauillac), the wine from this Fourth Growth Bordeaux chateau has been excellent.

Very good deep ruby-red. Smoke and currants on the nose. Black raspberry, minerals and graphite on the palate. Has a velvety texture but comes across as less harmonious than the '95; though even, the tannins are more noticeable today. Doesn't offer quite the sweetness or grip of the '96.

Had this at a recent (June/2001) 1990s Bordeaux tasting and it was very nice...The nose had a melange of herbaceousness, cocoa, toast and dark cherry fruit. The palate of dried cherries, freshly-turned earth and chocolate cherries after a bit of aeration spread into a satisfying finish of soil and cherry fruit roll-up.
