Château Lafleur--Vintage 2006
1 double-magnum per lot
Château Lafleur--Vintage 2006 Pomerol Tasting note: The 2006 Lafleur, which I had not tasted from bottle prior to this visit, merits 95 points. One of the vintates most brilliant wines, this blend of 61 Merlot and 39 Cabernet Franc is neither as dense nor complete as the 2008, but it is structured, closed, and austere (as are many 2006s at present). It reveals a plum/purple color along with a beautifully sweet nose of black and red fruits intermixed with incense as well as a steely/iron-like smell. More open on the palate than the 2008, with more obvious spice and earthy undertones, this powerful Lafleur should be drinkable in 5-7 years, and will last for three decades. The tiny Lafleur vineyard, which was harvested between October 8-14, produced a wine with an atypically high percentage of Cabernet Franc. Proprietor Guinadeau stated that the Cabernet Franc was among the finest he had ever harvested. 95 points. Robert Parker Wine Advocate # 182 (Apr 2009) 1 double-magnum per lot
