1996 Lafon-Rochet No. 2 Ste Estephe

[TheEngineer]

Popped a second one tonight and it was markedly different. The only thing that was the same was that this too was still a monster.....big wine.

Very dark purple with a dense nose of blackfruit and pepper with some old wood still. Much more fruit on the mouth and just plain dense in flavors. Black fruit, cassis, pepper, and old wood with tannins receding. Nicely complex. I like this bottle more.
