Scroll for some steak porn by yours truly! It’s been a long time since posting here it’s a special night because it’s steak and Lafon Rochet!! Here we go!
Lafon Rochet is to me an excellent value classed growth wine from Saint Estephe. In my opinion the structure and grip from Saint Estephe makes it an ideal pairing for a rib eye like this. 2019 was a very good year for left banks. The nose has the distinct bordeaux warm bread characteristics, with supple raspberry, plums, tobacco, menthol, pencil lead and cassis. On the palate it has great acidity (medium+) with chewy tannins providing great structure. The wine can easily go 10-20 more years. The palette is direct and authoritative with lots of cassis, plum, raspberry, blackberry, menthol, pencil lead, and tobacco. I think some tertiary cedar character should develop and tannins will soften in 10 years making this an excellent wine especially for the price.

Might be a dumb question, but what brand of wine glass is that?
