Shhhhhhh! How the HELL is this twenty bucks? Is twenty bucks a lot more money than I think it is? This is tight and delicious and compelling. Like: I want to be friends with this wine. And on day three it's still opening up. Chateau LaFleur's little joke on the world. Don't tell anyone about this wine.

This is racy, nervy and mineral with soft dark fruits, blackberries, violets, crushed stones and dark chocolate. The palate is energetic and bright with notes of soft black fruit, wet slate, liquorice and black pepper, the mid-palate shows great energy and is very mineral driven, fine tannins, finish long and lingering. This is a very exciting discovery.

Fresh, soft, silky, medium-bodied and on the elegant side of the style range, the wine is loaded with sweet, dark plums, cherries, licorice, flowers and a hint of chocolate in the end note. This is one of the great Bordeaux value wines you can purchase by the case, if you can find it. And it is ready to be enjoyed on release! Drink from 2022-2034.
