Details
Château Lafon-Rochet--Vintage 1961
Saint-Estèphe, 4me cru classé.
Lot 538 levels: seven very top, four top and one upper shoulder. Lot 539 levels: five very top and seven top shoulder
Both lots in original wooden cases with missing lid
"Still rich and concentrated, with plenty of astringent tannins, this spicy, ripe, full-bodied and full-flavored wine has plenty of extract, and a dusty, chalky finish. It is a good rather than superb 1961 that can be drunk now, or held for another 5-10 years. The tannins may ultimately prove excessive for the wine's fruit, so current drinking is recommended. Anticipated maturity: Now." Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition (1998)
