CHATEAU LAFLEUR 1985 |

Château Lafleur 1985 PomerolLot 6626: u. 1bn, 2 labels damp stained, rest slightly damp stained, all wrinkled, capsules slightly worn, Lot 6627: u. 4bn, 1vts, 1ts, labels very lightly damp soiled and very slightly wrinkled, 1 slightly stained, capsules slightly wrinkled by case dividersBoth the Merlot and the Cabernet Franc were picked at the same time this year, which was the old method followed by Mesdemoiselles Robin, although this was the first vintage made by the present owners, Jacques and Sylvie Guinaudeau. In 2014, this was luscious, opulent and silky, with meaty, aniseed flavours. It just begs to be drunk and appreciated now, in all its perfect, fruity maturity.
