Château Lafleur Pomerol 2013

Silky, melted tannins, edges of smoked caramel, cold ash and woodsmoke. Has a serious dark fruited edge to it, blackberry and cassis that is unusual in the vintage, with floral curls. You could drink this now, but here you feel it is holding things back, crouched for a further reveal in a few years time. Stands out in this lineup, and is a rare 2013 in its ability to hold its line, with grip and length. 50% new oak.
