CLARET from a Private Collector

Château Lafleur
Pomerol

90/100 points Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate #109 Feb. 1997

Lying in a temperature-controlled cellar duty paid in Singapore
3 bottles in good condition

Tasting Note: "Exhibiting a dark purple color with an opaque middle, Lafleur's 1993 is structured, tannic, and almost charmless because of its huge power and structure. The wine offers up hints of gorgeously sweet, black-raspberry, kirsch, and truffle aromas (similar to those possessed by L'Evangile), but after that, one has to be content with its unbridled power, medium to full-bodied, layered richness, and ferocious tannin. This is a backward, dense, yet purely made wine. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2020."

Château Lafleur is located opposite Petrus and producing wine of comparable quality.
