Château Lafleur--Vintage 1961
Pomerol
Levels: one into neck and two bottom neck; lightly bin soiled labels, one nicked label, lead capsule cut for inspection, chateau vintage branded cork clearly visible
"I had poor luck with the 1961 Lafleur until several years ago. In four recent tastings, this wine has been at the upper end of my scale. This particular bottle was extremely young, with an opaque garnet/black color, and a powerful nose of black truffles, sweet, over-ripe cherry fruit, and grilled meats. A sensational wine, with huge body, massive extraction, great exuberance, and considerable tannin in the thick, exotic finish, it is not yet close to full maturity." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #103 (February 1996)
