1996 Les Secrets de Lafon-Rochet

[TheEngineer]

Not sure what the difference was between this and the othe second wine, No. 2 de Ch Lafon-Rochet.

hm....guess not too much... Although, it may not have been as big a wine...then again, it could be bottle variations that I've already noticed with the No. 2.

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