Offered in original wooden cases
Recently removed from excellent cellarage where the wines had lain since original purchase en-primeur
Château Lafleur--Vintage 1985
Pomerol. Château-bottled
Bin-soiled labels. Levels: base of neck or better
Tasting note: The 1985 Lafleur is a much larger-scaled wine than the 1985 Petrus. It possesses a very special bouquet suggesting ripe plums, minerals, violets, and an intensity that comes only from old vines. Deep ruby/purple, with an exceptional richness and depth of fruit, full body, and a powerful, long finish, this wine ranks with the mammoth-sized vintages of Lafleur--1989, 1988, 1986, 1982, 1979, 1975, and 1964. Anticipated maturity: Now-2015. Last tasted, 1/91. 96 points. Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book 3rd Edition, January 1998
