  Probably as good as the ‘12 Lapierre will get. Juicy cherry, herbaceousness, earth, and a hint of leather. If I was picky, the acidity stuck out a little, but overall, this had decent flesh to cover those edges and it was drinking pretty well at 11 years of age. Drink now.

  This was okay, but, in my view, still the weakest vintage of the early 2010s for Lapierre. Some interesting cab franc-esque notes - green, tobacco, earth, etc. in there with some slightly subpar fruit (subpar for Lapierre, that is). As with the other Lapierres of this era that I opened recently, needed air. Not great on opening, I'd recommend a short decant.

  Popped and poured. Light garnet color. Lots of aromas on the nose with mixed red berry fruits, including some dried cherry and cranberry, a little earthy tobacco, herbal cherry cough drop. Really nice. Similar flavors on the palate with a lightness to it but still complex flavors with a little strawberry and forest floor coming through. Agree with the Burgundian comment. This could have easily passed for quality pinot noir. Medium+ acid, medium tannin. This bottle showed extremely well and could go further but likely at the expense of the fruit.

  Still good, but clearly missing that bright strawberry fruit of 3 years ago, further diminished in the past year.

  This one from my own cellar and much better, thank you very much. Round and balanced, in complete harmony, very Burgundian with strawberry and sous bois. Tasted vis-avis the 2014, and while equally fine, this is better right now IMHO. Peaking now, I think.
