Freschezza floreale e struttura. Finale di tensione con note di genziana e rabarbaro in chiusura.
As always, a wine with exceptional personality.

It’s not amazing but it’s good. I’ve gotten used to heavier wines, this is light on its feet but feels smooth on the palate. Not huge, maybe even a bit subdued but it’s exactly what the night called for. — 4 months ago

2016 vintage. Jérémy Chasseuil is working miracles here. Needs a bit of air, but after half an hour in the decanter it really started to shine. Intense perfume of raspberries, blueberries, violets, rosemary and a hint of truffles lurking in the background. Concentrated, with layers of red and black fruit and subtle spices. Velvety tannins and hardly noticeable oak. Very long too. Still very much under the radar, a great chance to buy a high end Pomerol for less than a 100 euro. — 2 months ago

Opened just prior to service; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. As far as I know, this was the first commercially released vintage of La Fleur de Boüard but others may be able to confirm or deny that. The 2000 pours a deep garnet color with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe dark fruits: back plums, cassis, pipe tobacco, Flintstones vitamins, purple flowers, dried green herbs organic earth and fine baking spices. “Yabba dabba doo!” On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. Gosh, this is in a really lovely place right now; very well balanced! Thank Andy! Drink now through 2040. — 2 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

C’est la fête de la fraîcheur !
Nice tension and balance.
Gentle soaking extraction.
Little uneven ripeness feel on the mouth.
But overall nicely integrated.
May turn really lovely with time.

Typical Pomerol nose of violets and blueberries and raspberries.
In the mouth nice structure, not overly extracted. Nice and elegant.

An approachable Bordeaux from Lalande Pomerol (Right Bank), the V’17 is blended at 80% Merlot and 20% Cab Franc, that reflects on the straightforwardness from the very beginning, quite aromatic, tons of influences of ripe dark fruit, mulberry with a nice acidity balance. The nose and the palate concours on the intensity back fruit ripeness, a hint plummy that yields freshness that also makes it vibrant and uplifting. The mouthfeel pleases even the most sophisticated tastebuds.
Loved the incorporated and tannins structure with a polish and smooth finish. Drink now, as it is still cruising on its prime time. Cheers!
