Lot 555 Details
CHÂTEAU LAFLEUR 2005
Pomerol.

This amazing wine puts on a display of fireworks in terms of its aromatics, with a stunning nose of blue and black fruits, forest floor, flowers and earth. Dense purple, full-bodied, rich, moderately tannic and super-concentrated, this is a profound Pomerol that still needs another decade of cellaring. This is possibly the greatest Lafleur of the modern era, rivaling the 1982 and 2000. Forget it for another 5-10 years and drink it over the following quarter-century. Drink: 2020-2050 100 WA


3 bts. per lot $2,800 - $3,300

Realised: $2,880
