Tasting Notes

88
Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book (4), December 2003
89/91
Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (122), April 1999

An impressively saturated dense ruby/purple color is followed by the classic Lafleur aromas : jammy black raspberries, kirsch liqueur, prunes, and minerals. Forward, full-bodied, and sexy, with an unctuous texture, and gobs of sweet tannin, this is a luxurious, evolved Lafleur that will provide gorgeous drinking in 2-3 years, and last for two decades.
