WINEMAKER'S NOTE
"A big time sleeper of the vintage, the noteworthy 2004 Lafon-Rochet boasts an inky/blue/purple color, sweet aromas of creme de cassis intermixed with smoke, licorice, and toasty new oak, a ripe, medium to full-bodied style, sweet tannin, and loads of flavor as well as depth. This beauty can be consumed now and over the next 14-15 years."

International Wine Cellar(tasted from cuve Medium-deep red. Black raspberry, smoked meat and red licorice on the expressive nose. Juicy, spicy and firm, with moderate density but good cut. Finishes with slightly dusty tannins and good persistence. Not at all green but leaner than the 2005.

davydchongNot bad. Hints of chocolate, citrus, with sweet tannins. Pleasant to drink. I didn't really like the aroma though, which was strong but unique.
