Château Lafleur 1975

Tasted on 15 March 201o: a beautifully-aged wine displaying elegance, subtlety and beguiling complexity. Garnet-ruby core. Alluring perfume of blackberries, chocolate, violet, rose petals, overlying cedar, spicy liquorice and leather. Medium body and soft silky tannins gave the wine a velvety texture. A wine still in its prime, with still a hint of fruit character and a respectable level of acidity. The lingering finish left one wondering if wine could be better made?!! Score: 19.5/20
