Wow. Kaleidoscopic wine. Dark cherries, dark chocolate, tobacco, roses and violets, a precise, pure, elegant and complex wine that is great now but will stand the test of time. Tanins are polished as can be and the wine is long and same time subtle. Great stuff. Highly recommended. Get one bottle and see for yourself. — 2 years ago
Beautiful, brilliant light ruby red color. The first nose is intensely on aromas of small red fruits. On the palate, it is delicately fleshy, structured, muscular and elegant. A natural wine, with a real dense chew of fresh and juicy fruit. Open 30 minutes before tasting. The tannins are soft but persistent. To drink in 2/3 years.
Belle robe brillante rouge rubis léger. Le premier nez est intensément sur des arômes de petits fruits rouges. En bouche c’est délicatement charnu, structuré, musclé et élégant. Un vin nature, avec une vraie mâche dense de fruits frais et juteux. À ouvrir 30 minutes avant dégustation. Les tanins sont doux mais persistants. Devrait gagner en profondeur d’ici 2/3 ans. — 4 years ago

The best of the three. Well balanced, smooth tanins, just perfect with the sauce à la crème veal. — 2 years ago
Soft round tanins full flavor but subtle and not overpowering. Delightful wine! — 3 years ago
Frais précis mais dans une phase introvertie avec des tanins fins mais séchants — 3 years ago
Great super Tuscan. Tanins a bit strong when it’s popped, but opens up nicely . Had in sun valley — 4 years ago
Tasted at the winery, they are going through a renovation of the visitor center. Kindly, we were greeted and offered to taste the 2010.
Color mild intensity, medium body, a little watery. Nose with cherry fruit notes. Palate not dense, tanins still need to rest. — 2 years ago
The cork was disintegrating and the bottle was not entirely off but not as we remember this wine. Great fruit and tanins underneath what tasted as a very evolved and somewhat “cooked” Lafleur. Hoping our last couple of bottles will be better than this one… — 3 years ago
