Lafleur 2005
CRITIC REVIEWS
Jancis Robinson
Still very deep crimson. Still youthful, hint of liquorice. So rich! Not as fresh as the 2000. Rather furry and grainy textured. Then the fruit came lolloping out into the glass and the whole thing became much smoother and more seductive. Masses of depth and concentration. Even polish. Very long – sweeter than the 2000. Really fired up! Tannins still there but fruit almost smothers them. All in the future.
Robert M. Parker, Jr.
This amazing wine puts on a display of fireworks in terms of its aromatics, with a stunning nose of blue and black fruits, forest floor, flowers and earth. Dense purple, full-bodied, rich, moderately tannic and super-concentrated, this is a profound Pomerol that still needs another decade of cellaring. This is possibly the greatest Lafleur of the modern era, rivaling the 1982 and 2000. Forget it for another 5-10 years and drink it over the following quarter-century.
