(10-1994) Port-like. A monster. Extremely ripe, exaggerated style with loads of berry and earth character. Full-bodied and tannic.

(1-1998) Deep ruby-colored with noteworthy amber at the edge, this is the only Lafleur from a very fine year that has reached full maturity, at least from the last two decades. I have had this wine from both regular bottle and magnum, and it is an example of Lafleur at its kinkiest and most exotic. The soaring nose of jammy kirsch, plum, licorice, and Asian spices is superb. Soft, round, plump, medium to full-bodied flavors coat the palate with considerable glycerin and sweet tannin. This is an open-knit, surprisingly evolved, luscious
Chateau Lafleur: This small vineyard of 4.5 hectares, located on the Pomerol appellation, the wine of Château Lafleur is certainly one of the rarest wines and the most sought. Made from merlot and cabernet franc (50% and 50%), the wines of Chateau Lafleur are of a quality out-of-common. All these elements and limited production (averaging 12,000 bottles, one of the smallest with Le Pin Pomerol) explain the high price of Château Lafleur.
