CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2015 Lafleur is gradually being pried open by time on the nose, revealing, almost reluctantly, scents of brambly red fruit, truffle oil and pencil shavings. Like before, the Cabernet Franc is more expressive than the Merlot. The palate is intense and fabulous. This has silky tannins, wonderful weight and underlying grace. It is another level in terms of complexity with a beguiling effortlessness on the finish. Heavenly. Tasted at the 2015 Ten-Year-On tasting at Bordeaux Index.
Lisa Perrotti-Brown
"The 2015 Lafleur is a blend of 54% Cabernet Franc and 46% Merlot. Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, it's profoundly scented of plum preserves, chocolate-covered cherries and blueberry pie with nuances of black olives, lavender, unsmoked cigars and cast iron pan plus a touch of Indian spices. The rich, medium to full-bodied palate is completely packed with tightly wound fragrant earth, black fruit and exotic spice layers, supported by perfectly ripe, wonderfully velvety tannins and seamless freshness. The epically long finish delivers a sum that is greater than the many compelling characters imparted on the nose and palate, whispering promises of a whole myriad of provocative finishes to discover throughout this wine's very long future. This exquisite masterpiece is not to be missed."

Tasted blind. Rich, sweet, nose. A bit over-developed. But easy to like because of all that sweetness! (JR)
