Château Lafleur--Vintage 1975
Pomerol
In original wooden case. One corroded and damaged capsule. Glue-striped labels, one stained. Levels base of neck
Tasting note: Massively proportioned, with a boat-load of tannin to shed, this is a wine for the 21st century. This monumental wine may behave like some of the great 1928s. If you own large stocks of the 1975 Lafleur, open a bottle and decant it for about 4-6 hours before drinking. However, if you only have a few bottles in your cellar, I recommend holding them until at least the turn of the century. This is another 50-75 year wine from an irregular, perplexing, yet sometimes exhilarating vintage. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 103 (Feb 1996)
