Pomerol
In original wooden case. Excellent appearance. One loose label. Levels: base of neck
Tasting note: Unfortunately, I have not seen as much of the 1989 Lafleur as I would have liked. In this particular tasting, the wine had closed down, and seemed somewhat muted and subdued when compared to my earlier notes. It is an enormous, full-bodied, tannic, powerful style of wine, with a dark purple colour, an earthy, truffle, plum, liquorice, and mineral-scented nose, full body, huge fruit and extract, and mouth-searing tannin in the finish. I would not open a bottle for 5-10 years. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2035. 95 Points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 109 (Feb 1997)
