The 2013 Lafleur has an almost Left Bank nose: tobacco and graphite scents misleading you towards perhaps Saint-Julien! At least there is decent freshness. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, light for Lafleur but well-balanced with an attractive, harmonious and peppery finish. This Pomerol ends on a high note, though it will never be regarded as a "great Lafleur". Tasted at Bordeaux Index's 10-Year On tasting. (Neal Martin, Vinous, August 2023)

18/20 (95/100) Неожиданно парфюмный и цветочный аромат с нотами спелых красных и чёрных ягод, шоколада, морёной древесины, ванили и гвоздики. Умеренная тельность, высокая кислотность, бархатистые танины. Насыщенное во вкусе. Сила и элегантность. #dfwe2019
