2000 | Château Lafon-Rochet Saint-Estèphe | Saint-Estèphe Jules Taylor and blue fruits that morphedOne of the better wines (and also reasonably priced) to emerge from this property over recent years, this dense ruby purple colored wine shows a complex nose of earth, underbrush, creosote, creme de cassis, and dried herbs. Sporting a new yellow orange label that matches the dramatic paint job on the chateau itself, the wine has a deep ruby purple color, medium to full body, fine ripeness as well as purity, and moderate tannin in the finish.
