Tasting notes
You know Château Lafleur, right? It's one of those big names in Pomerol alongside Le Pin. The 1992 vintage is especially talked about, and I think you'd love to experience why. Let's pop open this bottle.
This wine makes an appearance in Volume 15 of 'Drops of God,' where Shizuku brings it as a candidate for the Fourth Apostle. Remember that scene? The quiet anticipation as he talks about the potential of this wine really sets the stage. It's intriguing to wonder how a wine hailed as one of Pomerol's finest will resonate.
The color is a deep garnet, almost brick-like, showing off its 34 years of aging. As you tilt the glass, those slow legs just build up the excitement. The nose is open with a blend of blackberry jam and spicy notes. You'll catch hints of tea and dried herbs, adding to its complex character.
On the palate, it's all about that smooth entry. The tannins are dense yet graceful, perfectly balanced by the fresh acidity. And oh, that finish—it lingers elegantly, just inviting you for another sip. You might want to decant it to really bring out its best.
