This is a fabulous Chateau Lafon Rochet wine and certainly the best bottle of 2016. This 2016 Chateau Lafon Rochet wine has a very engaging bouquet, a mixture of red and black fruit laced with pencil shavings and loamy scents. This wine from St Estèphe is medium bodied with supple tannins and a fine line of acidity. This red wine has ripe and generous yet maintaining outstanding tension and revealing a judicious touch of peppercorns on the finish. Drinking Window 2025 – 2040.

All the success of St Estèphe in 2016 can be seen in Chateau Lafon Rochet this year. Where the 30mm of rain on 13th September and 13mm on 8th October, with nothing in between, allowed the clay, limestone and gravel soils to fully ripen the grapes. The Owner Basile Tesseron says he had never seen such maturity in his Cabernet Sauvignons, and certainly we have hugely intense aromatics from the first nose.

The 2016 Chateau Lafon Rochet wine has a Cabernet Sauvignon dominant (67%) blend, it’s rounded out by 27% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc, and was aged in 30% new oak.

The 2012 Chateau Latour Grand Cru Classé wine has a potent bouquet of blackberry, graphite and distinctive tertiary notes instead of more marine scents observed four years earlier. Initially, the palate of this Chateau Latour wine is slightly disjointed on the entry and displays a subtle herbal quality, plus hints of pencil shavings. This Chateau Latour Grand Vin Pauillac wine demands a few minutes to really coalesce and achieve the precision and pixelation that have been the hallmark of this Grand Vin in its youth. Layers of black fruit coat the mouth, and a bitter edge lends tension, particularly toward the very persistent finish.

The Chateau Latour 1er Grand Cru Classé wine will be by far the biggest release since Latour brought in the new system, as the 2012 has not been on the market before. It’s a good one to start with as this is a vintage where the drinking window is starting to come into view.

A splendid showing, much stronger from bottle than it was from barrel, the 2010 Chateau Leoville Barton wine is one of the spectacular wines of the vintage. This Chateau Leoville Barton has inky purple to the rim, its huge tannin gives this wine real potential for 30-50 years of longevity. It is a classic, powerful Bordeaux made with no compromise. A superstar of the vintage, the wine has notes of pen ink and creme de cassis, good acidity, sweet, subtle oak, and massive extraction and concentration. I thought it was one of the most backward wines of the vintage two years ago, and nothing has changed in the ensuing upbringing of the wine in cask except that the wine now seems even richer, denser and fuller than I previously thought. The beautiful purity, symmetry, and huge finish of nearly a minute make this one of the all-time great classics from Leoville Barton. Anticipated maturity: 2028-2065+.
