Brilliant stuff, the 2019 Château Lafon-Rochet shows the best of the vintage with its pure, precise, elegant, yet at the same time concentrated style. Showing lots of ripe currant, plum, tobacco, Asian spice, and cedar pencil aromatics, it's medium to full-bodied, has nicely integrated acidity, and just seamless tannins. It's beautifully done and well worth seeking out. It's going to evolve for 20-25+ years.
Wine Spectator: 94 Points
Ripe and sleek delivering cassis damson plum loganberry and mulberry notes that glisten with iron anise black tea and savory accents. Offers lovely precision and poise even as the fruit flirts with an exotic blend. Mouthwatering finish. Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2023 through 2038. Tasted twice with consistent notes.
James Suckling: 94 Points
Ripe blackcurrants and blackberries with hints of sweet tobacco walnuts and dark chocolate. Medium-to full-bodied with firm chewy tannins and lingering crushed-stone character. Firm finish with some nuttiness to it. Bold and solid classic St.-Estephe. Try after 2026.
Wine Advocate: 92 Points
The 2019 Lafon-Rochet has turned out nicely in bottle mingling aromas of blackberries and red fruits with hints of violets and pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied deep and seamless with lively acids and ripe powdery tannins it's a bright precise wine with plenty of depth and structure to support sustained bottle age but with enough modern polish to temper any suggestion of structural asperity.
