My colleagues and I were finally able to organize a mini Lafleur vertical last night (an old dream that was very, very difficult to bring together) to redefine the odds against the fabulous 2022 vintage. Once again, we can't put 100 points everywhere.
One of the wines of the vintage, initially you find smoke, truffle, salt, cherries, kirsch, and underbrush on the nose. On the palate, you find freshness, vibrancy, chewy tannins and sweet, salty red fruits that linger. Drink from 2030-2060.

La Vie du Vin featuring Chateau Lafleur, Omri Ram, Martine's Wines, and Chef Tim Hollingsworth (Blackberry Farm, TN): Do not underestimate this great vintage of Lafleur. They used candles to overcome the terrible frost that ruined many other crops. My third favorite out of six vintages of Lafleur over two days, behind only the 2020 and 2005.
