December 25, 2023 - Beautiful aromatics! The acidity overpowers the fruit a bit at this stage, but this was super elegant and fresh.

April 3, 2022 - Probably worth more points, but a perfect aged Pomerol for the duck course. Evolved and showed best after an hour and a half. Plum, bit of funk, hints of sweet spice and red fruits. Balanced and great length. Not "old world" Lafleur but solid.

January 29, 2022 - Notes of black berries, licorice, pepper and herbs. Tannins still present. Elegant and complex wine. Developed in the glass. Long fantastic finish.

February 13, 2019 - Still dense and tightly wound, this will be great with time. An hour of air time helped, but really too young to be consumed now. 94+
