Château Lafleur 2022 – Pomerol

The wine needs to be decanted. The nose is slightly tight and offers beautiful spices. It reveals notes of clove, cardamom and small notes of quite ripe wild strawberry associated with hints of Timut pepper, wild blackberry, incense as well as a very discreet almost citrus hint, sap and a discreet hint of pepper. The palate is beautifully fresh, suave, supple, iodized/saline, elegant, full of delicacy as well as a sappy character which leads the tasting. A silky, beautifully airy and full of finesse wine. Intense concentration/deepness but with extreme finesse and freshness. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of juicy/fresh blackcurrant, juicy/fresh red berries and smal notes of iodized minerality /saline gravelly associated with touches of fresh flowers, a hint of sage, almost eucalyptus, bright blackberry, blueberry, fresh tobacco as well as a discreet hint of smoke, mocha and a subtle hint of roasting. Tannins are saline, iodized, tasty and frank. A hint of Kampot pepper, anise and a good bitterness on the finish/persistence. Full of finesse. Nice sapidity and gourmandise on the finish/persistence. Tasty! Beautiful attention to detail!
