Château Lafleur--Vintage 1983
Pomerol
In original wooden cases. Lot 58 with corroded capsules, two slightly damaged. Bin-soiled labels, damp-affected. Levels: base of neck or better, one top-shoulder in lot 58
Tasting note: Full mature, yet still in far better condition than most 1983 Pomerols, Lafleurs 1983 has a medium ruby colour with considerable pink at the edge. A very exotic, almost kinky nose of Asian spice, liquorice, truffle, and jammy kirsch is followed by a medium to full-bodied, plum, fleshy wine with sweet tannin, and low acidity in a very evolved style. Certainly among the very good vintages of Lafleur over the last 20 years, this is the most evolved and drinkable. Anticipated maturity: Now-2015. Last tasted, 8/02. Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 4th Edition Jan 2003
