CHATEAU LAFLEUR 2006 93+ VIN May09

[93+pts] Brooding aromas of black cherry, cherry pit and licorice, plus a note… of a liqueur of flowers. Sweet, chewy and very ripe, but with restraint and focus to the youthful, mineral-driven flavors of dark fruits, licorice and pepper. This shows the cooler, medicinal cast of a classic young Lafleur… almost surprisingly silky now… – S.T.
