James Suckling 93pt

Very perfumed with blackberries, blueberries and cloves. Dried lavender as well. Full body and linear and refined tannins. Pretty spices come together with the clean fruit at the end. Hard not to drink now but two or three years of bottle age will pull it together.

Vinous Media 94pt

The 2015 Lafon-Rochet has a very perfumed bouquet. It's much more floral than the 2014 with rose petals, iris-infused red berry fruit, wild mint, and Provencal herbs, all beautifully defined. The palate is fleshy and rounded, with lithe tannins that frame the brisk red cherry and strawberry fruit. It's very cohesive and almost Burgundy-like towards the finish. This is a winsome Saint-Estephe that will give much pleasure.

The medium garnet-purple colored 2015 Lafon-Rochet is reduced on the nose to begin, with tar and earth aromas over black fruits and herbs. The medium-bodied palate is vibrant and refreshing with firm, grainy tannins.

A sinuous line of tannins runs through this structured wine. It lifts the dark plum and berry fruits and give shape to the spicy, firm wine. As the estate builds in strength, the style of this perfumed, stylish wine will be seen as a benchmark.
