Château Lafleur--Vintage 1983
Pomerol
Lots 26 to 28 all with glue-stained labels. Levels into neck. Lots 29 and 30 with integrated U.S. slip labels. Glue striped labels. Levels base of neck or better
In original wooden cases
Tasting Note: Deep ruby-coloured 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, liquorice, 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 Lafleur that should continue to drink well for 10-15 years. Anticipated maturity: Now-2010. Last tasted 11/97. Robert Parker. Bordeaux Book 3rd Edition (1998)
