Château Lafleur 2023 – Pomerol

A lovely, precise, textured, racy nose, which offers density and depth, but all in accuracy and control, a certain delicate power. It expresses notes of blackberry, small black fruits, associated with touches of fairly ripe raspberry, as well as hints of fleshy/dense small fruits, as well as fine hints of flowers, liquorice stick and a discreet almost sage hint. The palate is nicely fruity, fresh, balanced, elegant, delicate. It offers suppleness and a certain creaminess at the same time, delicacy, a nice shine/juiciness of the fruit. It expresses notes of pulpy/fleshy raspberry, purple plum and more lightly – creamy raspberry, associated with delicate hints of graphite, dark chocolate/tonka bean, fresh flowers (hint of rose), racy minerality, as well as a discreet hint of fresh tobacco. Nice softness of the tannins and a very nice persistence with a nice work on the good bitters. Nice suppleness and gourmet material, ample, certain creaminess but in finesse/delicacy. A very nice end of mouth stretched, infinite, gourmet, textured and elongated.
