Ratings & Tasting Notes

Still youthful purple color with some lightening towards the rim. Needs a few minutes to open up in the glass. Amazing aromatics of blackberries, plums, figs, dark chocolate, some crushed flowers, graphite, also some dried fruits. It's full-bodied and creamy, with nice medium+ acidity and medium+ tannin adding grip. Long finish with plenty of complexity. Wow... another great wine.

This is one of the greatest wines of the vintage, possibly the slowest-to-mature wine of the vintage, and potentially its longest lived. Tasted next to Petrus twice in 2002, the 1985 Lafleur seemed like it came from a different vintage. It was not herbal like the Petrus, far denser, the color more saturated than the Petrus, and more body, volume, and intensity than the Petrus. In fact, the Petrus looked like an emaciated, herbaceous, thin cousin to Lafleur. This wine is very special, with notes of figs, plums, minerals, violets, black raspberries, and licorice. Still a dense saturated ruby/purple with full body, great purity, and fabulous fruit, this is an immense vintage for Lafleur, and certainly ranks one of the great wines this small micro-estate has ever produced. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2030. Last tasted, 8/02.
