The 2018 Lafleur-Gazin has a more floral bouquet compared to Lagrange, scents of red berry fruit, brown spices, black truffle and leather emerge with time, quite open and forward. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, a mixture of red and black fruit mixed with black truffle and cedar. This is a composed and harmonious Lafleur-Gazin with attractive black pepper notes appearing belatedly on the finish. This is one of the best wines that I have tasted from Lafleur-Gazin in recent years. Reviewed Nov 2019"

Eminently approachable, even in its youth, Lafleur-Gazin is a delightful expression of the lighter style of Pomerol wines.
