January 25, 2024 - Lesfleurs+: Surprisingly robust, and dare I say, fresh. A floral wine, nicely rounded, with pure black fruit, some iodine and a touch of cedar. The Cabernet Franc seems to win out over the Merlot. Fully resolved tannins. An outstanding showing after 25+ years.

July 22, 2023 - Colour: Translucent ruby with a hint of orange hue
Nose: Strong peppery wild berry fruits, a little spicy!
Palate: Silky smooth texture, a little sweet, pure and simple!
Expecting a little bit more!! -

November 10, 2022 - Served blind, guessing Bordeaux, Pomerol, iodine, rich, velvety, lush & elegant, better than the 07 Lafleur I had few months back, just lovely

August 17, 2021 - medium red color with some age starting to show at the rim, plums, cloves, rugged chalk and still a good bit of oak on the nose, on the palate open and ready to drink with a nice dark deep fruit, chalk and slight hints of sauvage, fine long finish and a worthy second wine to enjoy now while the spectacular 1998 Lafleur remains in hibernation, along with Forts de Latour and Dame de Montrose one of the strongest second wines in Bordeaux.
****, ready to drink and time in hand. -
Ms. Bubblehead Likes this wine:
July 10, 2021 - We had this with BurgNick 4 years ago and since then, the wine has improved considerably, especially the palate which has gained some depth but still maintaining the very silky and round profile. The nose showed potpourri, spice, herbs, red fruit - very floral. Feels at peak now and seriously enjoyable.
