Reminiscent of the 2001 Lafleur, the 2012 is supple and elegant as well as impressively pure, textured and medium-bodied, with sensual kirsch-like fruit intermixed with loamy soil, licorice and incense notes. While not particularly powerful, it possesses a deep ruby color with purple nuances, and is stunningly pure with no hard edges. This 2012 will be drinking well by age 5 or 6 (atypical for a young Lafleur), and should keep for 15 or more. - WA, RP (4/2013)
Bright ruby-red. Perfumed aromas of blackcurrant, red berries, violet and vanilla. Enters sweet and creamy, with red and black fruit flavors, but turns austere toward the back, showing slightly tough tannins that will likely need considerable élévage to smooth out. Lovely lingering note of violet on the finish.- Ian D'Agata (05/2013)
