Tasting notes
A dark and smoky, sooty wine thatâs really black, but itâs got good harmony and could be drunk right now, thanks to the ripe blackberries and lively acidity. Drink or hold.

The 2016 Les Pelerins de Lafon-Rochet is pliant, soft and easygoing, all of which make this delicious second wine a terrific choice for drinking now and over the next few years, while the dark cherry and plum fruit remain vibrant.
