The 1985 Lafleur must be considered one of the wines of the vintage and is without question the finest Pomerol of the year, the 1985 Le Pin taking the silver medal. This bottle is exactly as I expected and cut from a similar cloth to the magnum poured at the vertical in Attersee. There is something about the bouquet that is totally “complete”, a labyrinthine of black and red fruit that lean towards the richer side, the Merlot and Cabernet Franc in perfect harmony: blackberry, sage, allspice, menthol and crushed violets. The palate has an unerring symmetry coupled with bewitching harmony and lithe tannins than caress the senses. This is an intense, multi-layered Lafleur that goes on and on. It is a Pomerol that seems full of “corridors” that lead to hidden facets of the wine such as blood orange, brown spices, marmalade and cracked black pepper…It remains one of the standouts of the decade. This might be the best bottle I have tasted so far.
A very rare bottle of
Chateau Lafleur 1985!!!
Just an incredible bottle of rare wine, in very good condition, as can be seen in the photo. All the time it was stored in a private cellar, under the right conditions!
