Score 17.5/20 · Drink 2000-2010, Jancis Robinson MW, Aug 2009

Lighter than the Pavie and less sweet. Transparent and less dramatic than the Pavie, but a satisfying wine. (JR)

Score 89/100 · Drink 1998-2022, Robert Parker, Feb 1993

The 1990, a stunning effort for this property, offers further proof of just how successful 1990 turned out to be for St.-Estephe. Very dark ruby, with a tightly knit nose of black fruits, this massively endowed wine is one of the most powerful and concentrated Lafon-Rochets I have tasted. Patience will be required with this offering. Anticipated maturity: 1998-2022.
