lemon curd

rose petals and blood orange

dried rose and eucalyptus oil aromas take shape in the lass

Aromas of baked plum

the wine is a slow developer

Chateau Lafon-Rochet, Saint-Estephe, France 2010 Junmai Ginjo lemon curdDeep garnet in color, the 2010 Lafon Rochet comes bounding out of the glass with sit up and beg notes of crme de cassis, blackberry pie and blueberry preserves followed by suggestions of Chinese five spice, potpourri and tilled soil. Full bodied and concentrated, with loads of black and blue fruit layers, it has a rock solid backbone of grainy tannins and compelling freshness, finishing long and fragrant. 94 Pts Robert Parker
