Château Lafleur 1985 (9 BT)

Château Lafleur 1985  

Pomerol 

u. 1bn, 8vts, 2ts, slightly bin-soiled and wrinkled labels, 1 slightly nicked label, 3 slightly torn labels, scuffed and nicked capsules 

Both 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. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
