Château Lafleur Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 1990

$2895

This wine goes from strength to strength, and is developing even better than I initially expected. More backward than most of the big, Cabernet Sauvignon-based 1990 Medocs, it is full-bodied and viscous, but not as thick or oily as the 1982 can be. The 1990's fresh, pure black raspberry, incense, and minerality characteristics result in a young, legendary wine. Still deep ruby/purple to the rim as well as extraordinarily intense, it is 4-10 years away from full maturity, and should evolve for another 30+ years. It is an amazing achievement! Robert Parker

1990 Lafleur. My fave of the blind tasting. This one was confusing at first because the color was brown and it was very thin. Decanted at least 2 hours before pouring. This wine changed dramatically throughout dinner. Took on a really complex nose- savory, perfumy, floral, and savory at the same time. My favorite.
