1996 Les Secrets de Lafon-Rochet

[newsguy]

as it so happens, i had a bottle of the 96 Ch. Lafon Rochet last night with dinner. it was a spectacular wine, but unfortunately i didn't take notes. the nose was very good, but in the mouth is where this wine took off like a rocket. seriously concentrated bordeaux flavors that just came at you in wave after wave as the finish went on for a minute. the best bordeaux with some age on it that i've tasted so far (and that's only out of about 20 or so older bottlings). and this one will hold up a while yet, i'd guess. 93 points.
