CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2015 Lafleur, like the bottles tasted earlier this year, is a little reluctant on the nose, gradually opening with slightly blacker fruit (in this larger format) as well as those enticing pencil shaving and black truffle aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, perhaps less silky than those I found in bottle but complex and harmonious. The cedar and graphite-tinged finish is backward yet compelling. Outstanding. Tasted from ex-chateau magnum at Kate & Kon's 40-Year vertical in Austria.
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)
