Details
Château Lafleur--Vintage 2003
Pomerol. Château-bottled
In original wooden case
Tasting note: The exotic, nearly over the top 2003 exhibits a southern Rhone-like characteristic of kirsch liqueur intermixed with raspberries and flowers. Sweet fruit, high levels of glycerin (the alcohol is less than 13.5, and high but silky tannins have resulted in a broad, expansive, terrific example of Lafleur that should be at its finest between 2008-2025. Along with Petrus, this stunning, full-bodied 2003 is a candidate for the top wine of Pomerol. 95 points. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #164, April 2006
