Château Lafleur--Vintage 1988
Pomerol
Glue stained label
"A strong candidate for the wine of the vintage, Lafleur's 1988 is still extremely youthful, requiring another decade of cellaring. The color remains a dense opaque plum with no signs of lightening at the edge. The reticent but promising nose of kirsch, minerals, violets, and Asian spices still needs to be coaxed out of the glass. Full-bodied, dense, and concentrated, with exceptional power, layers of highly extracted fruit, and superb purity, as well as mouthsearing tannin, this is a wine for the true connoisseur. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2035. Last tasted 7/97." Robert Parker Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition (1998)
