Flight 3 (2 Notes)

  • 1975 Château Lafleur 93 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol

    decanted for an hour but still fairly restrained. a serious and a thinking man's wine, but somewhat disappointing give its price tag.

  • 1979 Château Lafleur 96 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol

    decanted for an hour. impressive aromas that blew away the '75, with exotic notes of vanilla, mocha, coffee and mint.

Flight 4 (3 Notes)

  • 1990 Château La Fleur-Pétrus 95 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol

    decanted for 2hrs. wonderfully expressive. a little lacking in depth and length, especially compared (somewhat unfairly) to its starry neighbours in the same flight. nonetheless very enjoyable. a real outperformer.

  • 1990 Château Lafleur 97 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol

    needed at least 15mins in glass to get going despite 2hrs in decanter. dark, rich and voluptuous, with typical '90 super ripe and jammy texture. would have been wine of night if not for the sublime Petrus in same flight.

  • 1990 Pétrus 100 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol

    decanted for 2hrs. intoxicating to-die-for nose. rich and velvety, yet ever so graceful. words can't do this wine justice. ultimate karma sutra of wine.
