This 2002 Lafon Rochet reveals an elegant maturity, where the freshness of blackberry mingles with subtle notes of licorice and a persistent mineral touch. The palate, with beautiful structure, unfolds a melted texture and a slender finish that testify to the balance achieved by this Saint-Estèphe after more than two decades.

Vinous Tasting Note

(a blend of 56.5% cabernet sauvignon, 40% merlot and 3.5% cabernet franc) Full ruby-red. Very pure aromas of black cherry, black raspberry, black olive, pepper, leather and licorice, with a whiff of fresh herbs that carries through on the palate. Lush and dense for this property, but with very firm underlying structure and plenty of verve; a bit austere and musclebound tasted next to the 2001 and 2000. Finishes quite persistent, with firm but fine tannins and lingering black cherry flavor.
