Community Tasting Note

Elpaninaro Likes this wine:

Saturday, December 11, 2021 - deep purple red color, dense black plums, cherries and concentrated spices on the cool nose, on the palate velvety flows of satiny plums with cherry topnotes and subtle spice, chocolate and dark earth form a gently flowing baseline, a young wine of great movement and density but already showing some subtlety, one of the few 2016s I really love, sadly one comes across Lafleur-Petrus very seldom here in the States- but that makes its occasional appearance all the more special, with Magdelaine now gone- Lafleur-Petrus gets my vote as the most overlooked treasure of Bordeaux, a long and glorious life ahead.

(****)+, 2036++
