From Saint-Estèphe in Bordeaux, France, Château Lafon-Rochet 2003 Magnum is a dry red wine from a Fourth Growth estate, made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. Now mature, it shows aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, plum, cedar, tobacco, leather, spice, forest floor, and earthy mineral notes. The palate is medium-bodied and evolved, with softened tannins, balanced acidity, mature dark fruit, and a long savory finish. This Left Bank Bordeaux is a strong choice for those looking for a mature Saint-Estèphe in magnum format, with classic Grand Cru Classé pedigree, tertiary complexity, and ready-to-drink character.
Pair with roasted lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, braised short ribs, mushroom dishes, aged cheeses, game, or classic Bordeaux-style meats.
