Tasting note

2003年的拉芳羅謝展現了聖愛斯特弗區所能達到的優雅與平衡。酒液呈現深邃的暗紅寶石色，幾乎不透光，透露出濃郁的內涵。香氣中黑莓和黑醋栗的果香與泥土的氣息和烤橡木的香味相得益彰。口感中等，黑果的風味與雪松橡木和細微的香草交織在一起。儘管酸度略顯平淡，酒精感稍微溫暖，但果味持久，而且強勁而絲滑的單寧賦予了持久的餘韻。這款酒圓潤而精緻，是聖愛斯特弗風土的真實表達，帶來一種溫暖感，同時保持了新鮮感。

The 2003 Chateau Lafon-Rochet is a testament to the elegance and balance achievable in Saint-Estephe. This vintage presents a deep, dark ruby-red hue that is nearly opaque, hinting at the concentration within. The nose is greeted with dark fruit aromas, predominantly blackberry and cassis, complemented by earthy notes and a toasty oak presence. On the palate, the wine is of mid-weight, offering a symphony of black fruit flavors intertwined with cedary oak and subtle vanilla. Despite a slightly flat acidity and a warming alcohol touch, the fruit persists well, and it is the powerful yet silky tannins that provide a lasting finish. This wine, with its roundness and finesse, is a true expression of Saint-Estephe's terroir, offering a certain warmth without sacrificing freshness.
