Château Lafleur--Vintage 1982
Pomerol
Lots 14 and 15 slightly glue-stained labels. Levels into neck. Lot 16 slightly glue-stained labels, three slightly damp-stained labels one slightly scuffed. Levels base of neck or better
In original wooden cases
Tasting Note: A spectacular nose of kirsch liqueur, minerals, flowers, and blackberries jumps from the glass of this thick, dark ruby-coloured Lafleur. Over-ripeness, a characteristic of many 1982s (I say that in a positive, not pejorative sense), is apparent in this jammy, unctuously-textured, massive wine. Somewhat of a paradox to taste, it offers notes of maturity, richness, and succulence contrasted with massive structure, muscle, and density. Thrilling to drink, despite its youthful, tannic grip, the 1975 and 1979 Lafleurs come closest to this wine's massiveness and formidable intensity. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2030. 100 Points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 129 (June 2000)
