Château Lafleur--Vintage 2000
Pomerol. Château-bottled
Lot 565 excellent appearance. In six-bottle original wooden cases. Lot 566 U.S. import slip labels. Five slightly bin-soiled and one damaged label. Not in original wooden case. Lot 567 four slightly bin-soiled and one marked label. In six-bottle original wooden cases
Tasting Note: I am not surprised the 2000 Lafleur has garnered the magical three-digit score. From bottle, the wine boasts a dense plum/purple colour in addition to a gorgeous nose of kirsch liqueur intermixed with hints of black truffles, raspberries, and minerals. The tannin is present, but seems to creep up only upon intense inspection. Lafleur is enormously endowed, rich, and full-bodied, with a tremendous chewiness and, at the same time, sensuality. Pure, massive, and rich, with exceptional levels of glycerin and fruit nearly concealing high levels of tannin, and a 60+ second finish, this is a remarkable achievement, and ... just maybe the finest Lafleur since the 1982. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2040+. Robert Parker Wine Advocate 146 (April 2003)
