Description

Château Lafleur 1982

Pomerol

u. 3bn, 2vts, otherwise level into the neck, bin-soiled and glue-striped labels, 3 slightly torn labels, scuffed

capsules, 1 nicked capsule, 2 torn capsules, 1 previously cut capsule revealing fully branded cork with Sotheby's sticker adhered to capsule, 1 Mexico import tag adhered to capsule, different importers


Unbelievably rich, plummy nose. Drenched

damsons. Glorious meaty taste. Very young

and "irony". Coffee bean finish. Faultless. Then tasted from magnum, classic nose showing the Cabernet Franc that, of course, is not in Petrus. Great finesse and elegance. So meaty and so beautifully silky, with lots of liquorice. Fans out with extraordinary flavour. Firmer than Petrus when I saw them together. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
