Château Lafon-Rochet 2005
£94.00
A very rare ex-chateau release from Bordeaux first growth Lafite, this 2005 has come directly to us after 20 years in their cellars, ensuring impeccable provenance. 2005 was one of the greatest vintages of this century, and this exceptional wine is approaching its peak, where it will remain for over a decade. Rich yet suave, complex dark berry fruits, with hints of graphite, sandalwood and exotic spice. Ripe seamless tannins and a neverending finish.

"Waves of saffron, truffle, black tea and earth set the pace for a remarkably balanced and aromatically-complex wine. This is still a baby at 17 years old, but has reached the level of Lafite character when all is elegance and finesse - the perfect example of how in Bordeaux they don't need excess to deliver something extraordinary. As things relax, you get a luscious, more concentrated core of cassis and bilberry fruit, with cedar, charcoal, violet, raspberry leaf and slate. Fine tannins hold it all in place, you could give this a long carafe to drink now, but the real magic needs another decade or so. Charles Chevallier technical director, and this was the last year with Emile Peynaud as consultant, before Jacques Boissenot took over in 2006. A pair of scales was chosen to decorate the bottle neck to reflect the balance of the vintage"
98 / 100, Jane Anson
