A sleeper of the vintage, the dense blue/purple-coloured Château Lafon Rochet  4ème Cru Classé 2003 exhibits plenty of blackberry, cassis and graphite along with a touch of toasty new oak. The wine is more backward than expected, but it possesses full-bodied, concentrated flavours as well as good elegance, purity, and overall equilibrium. This is a long-distance runner. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2025.' Robert Parker 90+pts
