Château Lafon-Rochet 2017 – Saint-Estèphe Cru Classé

The nose is aromatic, fresh, fruity and very slightly concentrated. It reveals notes of cassis, crunchy wild strawberry, blackberry and small notes of cherry associated with touches of spices, a subtle hint of fresh flowers / lily (in the background) as well as a very discreet hint of cuben pepper (in the background) and a very discreet toasted hint. The palate is fruity, beautifully fresh, well-balanced, racy, mineral and offers a good definition, tension, a very fine unctuosity, dynamism, juiciness as well as small aerial side. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy red berries, juicy blackberry and crushed strawberry combined with small notes of black cherry, cassis and fine / small touches of toasted oak, zan and tonka bean. Tannins are well-built. Good length.
