Dark rubi robe with no signs of its age. A very complex and profound nose of dark cherries, flowers, blackcurrant and anise. In the mouth its ethereal and elegant, ready and will last some time still. Excellent second wine Lafleur, the greatest Pomerol there is. — 2 months ago
Great fruit even at this age. The only issue I had besides the slight bell pepper is how rough the tannins were and the coconut on the nose. American oak? Not something i’d think Roy would use. — 4 months ago
A fresh tasting White blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Still very young and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly.
Light to medium in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate and complex.
Showing lemons, green apples, white flowers, grapefruits, bitter herbs, earth, spices and white pepper.
Tangy finish with limes and almonds.
Would be nice to revisit it in 3 years and see how it evolves.
A blend of 60% Roussanne, 30% Clairette and 10% Grenache Blanc.
14% alcohol by volume.
89 points.

The depth of dark fruit and soft tannins made this such a an easy drinker — 6 months ago
A rich crimson in colour. Initially a note of Animale (Barb thought a brief note of cow yard) amongst the dusty cherry, dark fruits, violets and mushroom notes. Great balance between the 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc. Medium bodied with smooth supple tannins. The next day: Elegance with length - shows the quality of the fruit IMO. My first Lafleur, I think, and it was excellent as expected. — 2 months ago
A little farmyardy on opening, but still some pleasure in this forgotten oldie from the cellar when it opened up… — 3 months ago

Too bad that more people have discovered the wines of Sylvain Pataille. Still well priced but more competitive to buy them. — 2 days ago
