"A big time sleeper of the vintage, the noteworthy 2004 Lafon-Rochet boasts an inky/blue/purple colour, sweet aromas of creme de cassis intermixed with smoke, liquorice, and toasty new oak, a ripe, medium to full-bodied style, sweet tannin, and loads of flavour as well as depth." 90/100, Robert Parker
Press reviews
"Youthful and spicy fruit, with toasted oak, with little smoky and minerally elements. Supple start on the palate, gentle, moderate weight although it does have a little fat in the midpalate, and nice texture and grip too. Rather firmly structured, but overall a good character, nice flesh and spicy fruit finish. Good. From a 2004 Bordeaux tasting at four years of age." 16+/20, Wine Doctor, (November 2008)
