Lot 573 Details
CHÂTEAU LAFLEUR 1999

Pomerol.
u. 3 x bn. 3 x marked & scraped labels.

This wine is a brilliant success, it is one of the stars of the vintage. Lafleur's 1999 is atypically powerful and concentrated, with an inky, saturated purple color followed by a sensational nose of black cherry jam intermixed with liquid minerals, raspberries, and licorice. It is super concentrated, extraordinarily pure, with moderately high tannin. This dense, powerful, impressively endowed wine should turn out to be a classic for Lafleur. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2025. Only 2,080 cases made. April 2002 WA 93

3 bts.    per lot $1,300 - $1,500

Realised: $1,740
Price Includes Buyer's Premium ?
