The second wine by Lafleur. It is both impressive and elegant, with red and dark fruits, vanilla. Light bodied, excellent balance, good acidity. Elegant. (162$)
A restrained but elegant wine. A bit closed nose with red and black fruits in the front and vanilla in the background. Light bodied with still very predominant acidity(172$).
Dark purple. Powerful nose with ripe fruits and chocolate. This is a modern Pomerol, flatterer than the classics. A lot of fruit in the palate, Medium bodied. A bit of bitterness in the finish. Excellent (172$).
For me, this was the best Pomerol of the tasting. Both impressive and refined. Dark fruit and chocolate in the nose, but in a restrained and elegant dosage. Good harmony between nose and palate. A lot of fruit in the mouth also. Medium bodied, excellent balance, soft tannins and predominant acidity with a long finish (148$).
This wine made a lot of expectation among the panel. I have to admit that I didn’t understand what it was all about. The nose was too close although elegant. Light bodied with soft tannins, predominant acidity and long finish (160$)
Excellent nose with ripe fruits and chocolate – it reminded me the Hosanna tasted before. Elegant, light to medium bodied, soft tannins. Not completely balanced at the moment, it should evolve (1600$)
