Chateau Lafleur, Pomerol, 2010
98 points from Lisa Perrotti-Brown—and the highest percentage of Cabernet Franc (62%) the Guinaudeau family believes they've ever used. The 2010 is monumental: concentrated, muscular, built for the ages. Cedar chest and kirsch open to baked plums, boysenberries, sandalwood, licorice, and pencil lead. Full-bodied with slowly maturing red and black fruits, wrapped in firm, ripe, grainy tannins. From one of Pomerol's tiniest and most prestigious estates, where naturally low yields make every vintage exceptionally rare. Drinking window: 2032-2075. This is not a wine for the impatient—but for those who cellar seriously, few Pomerols will reward patience so generously.
